Well, som eof my friends did make fun of me when I told them I was going to use DNN.  They were all Joomla this and Mambo that, but I saw how my friends were affected by their technology choices and I wasn't ready join the cult and drink the coolade.  The only Star Wars costume that fit was Chewbacca, and it was tight around the middle.  I wanted to be me.  I knew there had to be more to life.  It was tough for a few weeks, going cold turkey off PHP, but gradually, as I ran out of breakable furniture, I could see a better way.  A less intimidating way.  I made new friends, got my hair cut and even strated showering on a regular basis.  I met a nice girl, no goth/trekkie chick, a real girl.  She took me on a as a project, intoduced me to AJAX,SQL 2008 and deoderant.  My mouse pointer began to fly over the Visual Studio interface and apps appeared, fully working, wherever I went.  I bought a new car, a Bugatti Veyon.  I bought a tuxedo.  Two actually, one black and one white.  I developed a taste for cognac and started to dislike Bawls and Hot Pockets.  I started hanging out with supermodels and getting invites to embassy dinners, and you know what?  My former "friends" fell away to the shadows, commenting something like "monkey working for the man..."

Living well is the best revenge.

I think you'd be surprised how many non-profits and city/government sites are using DNN.

Another example of a retailer using DNN is Pier 1 Imports (both internal and external).
