I know there's been a fair few posts about DNN and SharePoint before, but I wanted to know which direction our team should take when developing a new web portal based application by comparing SharePoint 2010 and DNN7. The Licensing costs are not an issue. The website is an internet application with a lot social networking features as well as other customised functionality.

I do not have much experience with SharePoint but remember that skinning, customising and overall development platform used to be limiting and messy. The social networking features in SharePoint's earlier features use to be limited as well.

Any help or direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your input really appreciate it.

Modules definitely look a lot easier to develop in DNN as well as having options to develop in MVC, Knockout or the traditional webforms.

We won't be utilising any integration across microsoft products office, outlook etc. DNN to me seems the obvious choice.
