  CakePHP

  While CakePHP is not exactly a full-fledged CMS, it is my favorite because it offers a great balance between foundation and flexibility, while reinforcing MVC best practices. You can have a basic CMS up and running in a matter of hours with it.

  WordPress

  WordPress is a great foundation for building simple CMS sites for clients who only need to occasionally update simple content. I've found a lot of devs push clients towards Drupal when all they need is something really basic.

  MediaWiki

  MediaWiki is just damn-well written and well thought-out. I guess it has to be considering it serves millions of hits per month on the official wikipedia.org site.

  Drupal

  I am not a fan of Drupal. It takes forever to come up to speed on it, and then your worst horrors are realized - that yes, it really is a pain in the ass to implement the features you need.

  Plone

  Plone is the DEVIL. Complete overkill. Good luck if you want to change the workflow to something outside the pattern they intended!
