The user interface is clean, can grow and so easy to use. It seems so original yet all the elememts fit with current patterns. The top and left navigation work really well together.

The fact that I've had ... http://www.tomasbreen.com/wp/index.php/2010/01/multiple-urls-for-a-single-node-in-umbraco/ A recursive call in XSLT can be a bit confusing. It was for me.
