Since my last review, what keeps standing out is how little the fundamentals get in the way. GROQ still feels like the right abstraction for content querying: I can shape the exact response a page needs in one request, including references and nested arrays, instead of stitching together several calls or over-fetching. Schemas living in version-controlled code means content model changes go through the same review process as everything else in the repo, and the Studio is just a React app I can extend with custom input components where a field needs bespoke UI — no plugin framework to fight. The image pipeline also quietly saves us a service: on-the-fly transforms and hotspot cropping cover responsive images without a separate asset layer. Support has stayed as good as I described before.

A modern and user-friendly API, well-designed UX, excellent performance, and support and development not only for the core CMS but also for plugins.
