I'm partial to Joomla, personally. I haven't used a lot of others extensively, though. Joomla and Wordpress, primarily. I'd like to try some of the others, but I'm too lazy to do so. Takes too much time to upload those on my connection. Joomla seems to be the most hopeful one. Though I haven't used Joomla a lot yet. I have no real use for a CMS at the moment.

I like Movable Type a lot; it's easy when you've grasped it, but hard to start out on. For the beginner, I recommend Wordpress -- for the slightly more advanced, TextPattern or Expression Engine (something I really want to try), or if you use Ruby, Radient or SimpleLog -- both of which are very impressive. There's always Symphony too. But Movable Type is a bit more customizable from the beginning, I feel, because it has flat template files, which Wordpress doesn't do very well (in my opinion). The problem with WP is that it divides a template into many different sections, which isn't always necessary. It works if you have a header and footer that will never change, but not if you want full and easy control over your website.

Portal sites are fading out, I think. I haven't seen a PHPNuke, Mambo, or Joomla site in a good long time, which is probably a good thing. For the web-nazi in me, I like how the table-based portal sites are fading out, but I know that they're being replaced -- for the better -- by new scripts that will do the job more effectively; but back on topic:

As far as ease of use goes, Wordpress tops the list. It's a great CMS; but it, like every other platform out there, needs some work.

I always like portal because of many things..one is the way or style..It's kind of easy to use and they are many styles you can choose from..another thing I like about it is that it's a good starter if you have a forum or website what other way can you have something this great I recommend this to anyone who is making their websites it won't put you down

Either it's hard to tell that they are running Mambo/Joomla if you don't look, or maybe you're right.....

With the exception of the core components in the current versions of Mambo and Joomla, you can eliminate tables. Templates aren't required to be built on tables.

And yes, WordPress does rock. It's killing off alot of the competition. And with WordPress.com, blogging has never been easier.

But I recently SEO of Joomla is poor.They say wordpress is best for SEO.Actually, I do not know how much CMS platform can affect your pagerank.Can anybody explain a bit about this.

For normal sites, Siteframe is my absolute favorite type of CMS to use. For Wikis, there's no rival to Mediawiki for most of my purposes. There are times I've used Dokuwiki successfully because it just works, however. These are for primarily documentation situations. I absolutely dispise Joomla, however.
