I have tried both. I found drupal to be too limiting in its
templates, and typo3 to be slow and cumbersome. I also
tried many others listed at opensourcecms, and just had
to write my own to overcome the limitations with
templates.
Cognito is designed especially for web designers that want
their sites to look the way they want, with the flexibility of
managing the content in a user-friendly way.

Well I'm afraid that by maturing time of yet another CMS it will be
funny to remember drag-slow P4/AMD64s :)
Regarding cumbersome, it's either powerful and simple maybe in concept
but not in all of its glory (tm), or usable for one's personal projects to
be simple enough in general.
Getting people to help with code ruins the latter model in a
month...

And web designers shouldn't worry about technical things like
establishing site engine: they should worry about templates -- these are
quite different tasks asking for quite different skills which are rare to
combine.
Maybe look at TYPO3 3.8.0-dev and specifically "one-minute
website" article? Fixing mature product without harsh design faults is
more productive than rolling one's own...
Anyway, good luck :-)
