I did my PhD dissertation on open source CMS and related systems, and one of the questions was sustainability. For those that can sustain the issues with a system like CiviCRM, it might be appropriate. Alternatively, an enabler like Greenleaf could help an org -http://greenleafadvancement.com

Or, a product like Giveffect might be helpful.

That sounds really cool! I work with CMS's all the time and will be teaching a class on them -- is your dissertation publicly available, and/or do you have any interest in sharing or chatting about the topic? (my contact info is in my profile)

coincidentally, our most disgruntled clients come from civiCRM. That's actually how we at Giveffect even learnt of CiviCRM (through their former nonprofit clients eager to jump on ship with our software because of product and customer support issues). ps: I'm the founder and ceo of Giveffect. Happy to answer any questions about our product.
