It depends on what you need it for. For a blog, WordPress is also good. Joomla is more for a portal site. I myself favor Joomla. It is very nice, easy to setup and use. I have also tried Plone, TextPattern, Mambo (which is actually what Joomla started from), E7 (or something similar, I don't remember the name) but Joomla beats them. Plone is also good but it requires a dedicated server because if you have a lot of traffic this will certainly crash a site. Plone is written in Python and they say it is very reliable. However, I had had times configuring Plone - probably because I had dealt with Joomla before that and I expected the logic to be the same, which obviously wasn't the case. :)

I'm migrating to Joomla and it's one of the best CMS if not the best. Very user friendly yet if you are a geek you can expand its capability

I have used joomla, mambo, wordpress and phpnuke, the easy one to use is phpnuke and it also has a lot of plug ins for it like modules, blocks, add ons and mods also a lot of themes but with joomla it does not i wanted to use joomla as my new site CMS but i couldnt find the plug ins i needed and the themes i couldnt find so i switched back to phpnuke, you can download phpnuke at www.phpnuke.org you will find some plugins there but if you want over a 1000 plug ins then go to www.phpnuke-downloads.com they have a large collection of phpnuke plugins uncluding templates and flash templates. My site is www.cellphonejunky.co.uk i am using phpnuke as my CMS as it is very easy to use and has a lot of plug ins i need.

I would also say joomla, though it may go short on some areas it is truly user friendly and very much easy to understand. However, Where joomla falls short, drupal flies high though learning curve is much more steep than with joomla.

Oh ho ho, have I seen everyone missing CMS Made Simple? www.cmsmadesimple.org . This is fully scalable from making a small to a medium website and very easy to learn. Very professional look.
