A comment on Ask HN: Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress, or ExpressionEngine?.

I agree with what most people have said here.

Joomla has been horrible for me. I get mad every time I touch it. That has kept me from overcoming the learning curve to get it working.

Drupal seems to be a nicer hacker platform, but the interface has been a huge problem for making it a decent solution for clients.

Wordpress has a great interface and good backing but it's still a little targeted to being a blogging system for me.

My preference is ExpressionEngine. It's interface is great, though not perfect. It's well suited as a general CMS. It's easy to extend but the "framework tools" are a bit lacking. The next version will be much better for extending because it will be built on CodeIgniter. Also, ExpressionEngine has support available.

The Drupal interface does not have to be a problem for your clients. It is completely customizable to whatever you can imagine. There are also some off-the-shelf customizations for the backend that are quite nice.
