Topic: Photo Gallery CMS - which is best?

Which of the many Photo Galleries is considered "best"?  It sounds like the top 2 are Gallery and Coppermine.  I'm looking for something that's coded well and is secure -- something comparable to punbb and wordpress.  I've heard of Gallery having security issues so I'm leaning towards Coppermine at the moment.

I do not know if it's the best but you can have a look at

http://www.phpwebgallery.net

I'm using it without problems. Moreover, The creator of this gallery takes model on punbb, hosted by textdrive...

Re: Photo Gallery CMS - which is best?

It does NOT require MySQL or other database programs since all image information is stored in flat text CSV files (although an optional MySQL backend is planned for a future release).

That bothers me.  Flat-file databases are a waste of resources.  I'd rather use a MySQL database.  Singapore doesn't work in mysql yet, does it?
