Чей код чище и удобнее расширятся битрикс или модх?
что угодно лучше битрикса. И да простят меня бывалые битриксойды, но лично я с таким месивом работать не намерен.
Просто кусок кода, который битрикс малый бизнес генерирует после установки в index.phpspoiler<?

Еще вся эта ересь безбожно терзает БД. 
А если глянуть ядро - то там несмотря на всякие придуманные штуки типа пространств имен, трейтов и т.п. до сих пор глобальные переменные и куча констант. Есть классы, методы в которых непонятно зачем оборачивают суперглобальные массивы. В общем смотрите сами, это чисто мое мнение и я не собираюсь работать с битриксом, чего и вам желаю
Я вспоминаю про битрикс, как про страшный сон после того, как перешёл на Drupal. Эта CMS пользуется большой популярностью на западе. С навыками программирования в Drupal API не сложно разобраться и на нём можно расширять сайт как угодно.
