cPanel has constantly impressed me with its shockingly poor quality. My first exposure to 'control panel' software was Plesk, which I understood to be a poor man's cPanel, and hence I cheerfully 'upgraded' a few years later (about six months ago) to the real thing. Good lord.
Plesk is a commercial quality product, with (afaict) weaknesses only where you would expect them from any fuzzy hand-holding sysadmin-a-like tool, i.e. a lack of flexibility etc. cPanel is horrible shite cooked up in the bedroom of two-dozen 14 year olds who've basically stuck PHP scripts over the top of various config files and then run off giggling. I'm looking forward to moving back to Plesk, although I fear the process of trying to transfer my user email back across (cPanel had a Plesk import script, I don't think a similar tool exists to go the other way).
