Trying to determine which LMS to use is like trying to get 20 women to decide they like the same pair of sandals. Each vendor has its own merits depending on what you are looking for and the student audience you are trying to communicate with. For example professionals looking for job development courses are different that teaching on a k-12 level.
One article discussed the fact that the best for k-12 was Moodle and Sakai. Personally I found Moodle harder to navigate as a student and in the creation. As a student I preferred Blackboard. When I used Blackboard it was in the beginning stages. When I created a Blackboard for the creation quest, I saw that it had gone leaps and bounds above what I had used before. I feel like Blackboard would be good for college courses as well as k-12. It might not be as effective for a professional development course just for the simple fact that a professional development course might not need as much intricacies as a high school or college course.
