Sorry but please ask specific question instead starting pointless and unfocused discussions.

Plone is a content management system and most people use it for the purpose of content management, web content management in particular.

Thats what i want . Dont want specific on one topic . want people to share their point of view on plone.

For content management problems, Plone is IMO a very good choice.
I use Plone as a content management framework and build customized solutions on top of it.
To keep the amount of customizations as low as possible I try to generalize my customizations where ever possible and bring them upstream or build a plugin for that.
I love Plone's software architecture based on the Zope Component Framework which allows extensions based on the adapter/interface contracts concept without having to hack core components.

For non-content management problems (e.g. data-heavy applications) Plone might not be the best fit but Pyramid, Django or Guillotina.
