I’ll have to admit to my preference for Joomla, although Drupal is growing on me more and more. They have an amazing user community, and there are places to get amazing themes. I’ll mention the other FOSS CMS systems in other posts. I haven’t spend enough time with Plone to really get a feel for it.
