My challenge was finding one that a non-technical person can maintain. After digging through lots of trial installations, I settled on "CMS Made Simple" http://www.cmsmadesimple.org and it's worked great so far. I like that it generates menus, etc. automatically, and can be used to generate and maintain a small business web site without having to look as much like a blog... All the others you mention have great features, etc. but would be overwhelming for a non-technical person, in my opinion. -Greg

It has another terminology and another way of coding. If you write your pages correctly and have a sufficient memcache, then performance can be very good ideed. Community is very active, and bug/security fixes timely. Appearance is all about theming - your site can look exactly the same, whether it's Joomla or Drupal or Typo3. Drual and Typo3 are very good professional CMS's, but they're not intended for the casual user without programmers and sysadmins. BR Bent
