Silverstripe. Open source BSD licensed built ontop of a quite nice MVC php framework that takes a lot of influence from RoR.

Is a dream to build both basic and powerful CMS driven sites in. And has a templating language that is like a simpler Erb. No I don't work for them, I just think it is by far the best CMS I've come across

You're not a mere mortal, but a techie ;-) I want to know if there is any CMSes that has a great experience for the people managing the site after delivery.

Ha, fair point. The interface is pretty simple though and with the sites I've worked on the content editors have normally found it pretty nice to work with :) here's a demo site http://demo.silverstripe.com/

I wrote this comment for Drupal, I seems it's also true for Silverstripe. i'm sure it's a nice CMS, but doesn't give a modern experience when working with content.

"As a rule, if the CMS puts you away from your page and to a list of "posts" to edit with TinyMCE, it's not modern. Atleast in my book."

I thought SilverStripe was pretty good when I first looked at it. The framework it's built on is actually not as good as they hype (in my experience) and documentation lacking... but from the enduser standpoint it is a pretty good mix of ease-of-use and power. The blending of traditional concept of posts and versioning of a wiki - all centered around the mighty URL - was one of the best executions I've seen.
