Why Evolution, why Revolution…

You may wonder why you want to stick with Evolution when Revolution is already available for download. Evolution has been around for many years now and is very stable, with lots of plugins and snippets that work out of the box. It has been well tested, and many professional websites are already using MODx Evolution. Revolution, on the other hand, has only a release candidate this year, and the snippets and plugins available in Evolution may not work.

Also, the major reason for using Evolution is this: you can migrate from Evolution to Revolution at any time. So you can wait until a stable release is available and then make the migration. Nevertheless, it is good to be prepared, and armed with the knowledge of what is ahead. In this chapter, we will discover just that.
