I'm really digging it as well. The layout is pretty great. Whatever the CMS is, they're getting a ton of flexibility out of it. It feels like a more integrated media experience -- typography, video, photography, infographics, user comments, all pretty nicely wound.
I like the content and I like all of their aesthetic decisions but I’m always a bit overwhelmed by their layout. There’s just too much screaming for attention for my taste.
The site is obviously great despite that (and certainly also impressive).

Their CMS is actually built entirely in-house. They even have version numbers posted somewhere.
