Re: CMS Discussion Pros and Cons
Drupal is quickly becoming my CMS of choice. While I did love Joomla at one point, I've noticed how slow and bloated it really is after trying other systems. The article system is amazing, but ACL, for example, is lacking greatly (that is until 1.6 is released). Drupal can be very confusing at first due to its complexity, but that's also one of its stronger points. It's lightweight, fast, very customizable, and popular. Not to mention the obvious plus of it being open-sourced.

Another fun route, if you're in the mood to learn quite a bit, is to use an MVC (Model-View-Controller) system and write your own CMS. PHPCake, Symfony, CodeIgniter, etc. But that can get messy if you're not familiar with the whole concept.
