I like PHP-Fusion. It has a good forum, downloads pages, news pages and a lot more good stuff out of the box. And there are a lot of extensions available. And I like the way it looks.

I'm running a secondary Drupal site, but now I may change it to Acquia Drupal. Thanks for the message.

IMHO, any CMS, free or paid, is a plain pain in the lower rear. Hardly any of them produces validating sources, depending the DTD fed to them. Hence, I would go as far, as to say, CMS are for dummies, who don't even know how to spell mark-up. But that's just my personal opinion.

They have their uses, some of the plugins would take months, possibly even years to figure out and code. So instead of recoding them, why not take some functional code and use it. It cuts a lot of time off of the development process.

I use Drupal. I don't find it too hard to use, and I like its modularity.

WordPress - My current website (www.totemangel.com) is built on top of WordPress. It is easier to use than the others, but there is definitely a learning curve. It sucks particularly when you want to integrate a shopping cart. I use WP e-Commerce but it is still a royal pain to get them both working together and looking good.

 

Drupal - My previous work is built on Drupal. It is arguably more powerful, but it is too advanced for most people. Most of their available themes suck. If you care more about working well than looking good, use Drupal.

 

Concrete5 - The company I work for uses C5 for its website backbone (www.geomagic.com). Concrete5 is modular, and it is quite a good choice for a website but not so much for a blog. Its built-in forum sucks, and its built-in everything sucks. It is also less popular so it has less community support.

I prefer Wordpress. It's the easiest and fastest way to create user-friendly sites.

I like Wordpress so far. Seen it around for years but just started using it since signing up for HelioHost. I have heard some good things about Drupal too but never used it.
