I recently tried out Joomla. It's quite nice. Very organized layout, and you can put everything from news to personal blogs. I think it would be perfect for a project/business site.
For a simple, personal site, WordPress (and/or Nucleus) do the job quite well. Some might even say they share the same theme system.
I use Wordpress as it is simple, intuitive and easy to use, but you still get the flexibility of being able to edit various files to customise your site to make it more personal. Even themes and plugins are incredibly simple to use, but still have advanced functionality. It also runs quite fast, compared to other CMSs I have seen.
I'm actually just making my first website using a cms. Before this i'd only used html and a bit of css. Css really helped my sites load faster. I've been searching for a while and i'm down between bitweaver and MDpro. MD pro seems to be the one with more functions but bitweaver just seems so much faster and easier to use. I'll get back to you on that though. I'm trying them both out now. I'll probably be done after a few more days of trial and error. Only prob is that trap17 seems to only give me 8MB of processing memory to work with. Bitweaver says that 8MB is the minimum and i should try to get more. Does anyone know how to get more or do i have to change hosts? Darn, I like trap17.
I love PHPNuke Platinum. Too bad it seems that support for it si going downhill very very fast.
 I haven't really tried any others. Non of them seem to have the features that Platinum had.
I've used most of the content management systems available on the net and I would say every cms has plus point which may be different from others. To be exact I've installed and tried out on drupal, dragonfly cms, phpwebsite, php-nuke, postnuke, xoops, mambo, joomla from its infancy days, e107 and etomites.
I would say Joomla is the best with the best support. It has got a very bright future with its development team announcing a very clear roadmap for the baby Joomla. And the support one get there is tremendous atleast at this stage. Many developers are there announcing new components and modules, templates, etc every other day. Mambo seems to be losing out with the 4.5.3 coming out with 10MB which according to some expert on mambo says that it is too big a file compare to the previous version only around 1.4MB. Apart from Joomla, the next choice for me is Xoops and then Postnuke. PHP-Nuke will come last since I don't like to see the footer Copyright intact, so does the etomite.
Sorry to go off on a bit of a tangent, but how do you add that function where you can change the font size on your blog on Wordpress (like the leaf skin for Nucleus).

For community driven websites I use CPG Nuke (9.0 is also called CPG Dragonfly), for les community driven websites like smaller clansites or websites about esports teams I use LandDownUnder.
I have to say e107, since thats the only one i tried lol. Joomla and Nucleus, hmm I Hear its quite nice from you guys.. might try it after im hosted =).

There are times I've used Dokuwiki successfully because it just works, however. These are for primarily documentation situations. I absolutely dispise Joomla, however. Hey...I think you are one of the handful people,who do not like Joomla..Can u add what features in Joomla you do not like?And which CMS may replace Joomla? Yeah..It may be bloat....having too much features...It may not be best if you are looking for a simple website without many features .But when you are not sure in which direction your website may move,a flexible CMS should be chosen..Then it is Joomla...By the way extensions those are available in Joomla is simple amazing.. Check extensions.joomla.org

Website: Joomla Forum: phpbb2 Photo cms Gallery Blog: Wordpress
