I've used joomla, mambo and drupal.

Drupal out of those 3 looked really really nice but very complicated to use..i lost interest in it really quickly.

Joomla and Mambo...very bloated. I didn't enjoy working them at all. I was meant to write my own mini cms this summer but i didn't get around to it

I'm currently setting up WP to work as a CMS...there isn't much required to transform it really....I just to get some mods in there and that's it really. There was an article on converting WP to a CMS but it was for an eariler version.

Mambo, and I was very quickly a bit overwhelmed by the shift from html with manual updates to this way of structuring content.

It is easy to use once you get into it, but it took me a while.

My main gripe is the difficulty of getting the archives listed in Google. Anyone got any ideas about making them more SE friendly?

writie - there are some seo modules / hacks for mambo / joomla that may help. What have you tried?

I use mambo and drupal.

As with Rollo I really like drupal but found it hard to use.
Mambo is difficult to use but once you get the hang of it it's okay.

A lot of the content editors we use are not very computer literate and find it very hard to use.

I much prefer to roll my own. I have written a couple of small ones over the years. I am working on a large scale one at the moment.

i was considering using that actually...but i dumped it. Boards.ie use it for their blog system. I may revisit it sometime but it's not on my agenda at the moment.

I'm looking in Wordpress MU at the moment as an alternative.

Used Mambo but moved most to Joomla (Sites in my sig both run Joomla now).
Drupal was .... ok but we had SEO issues with duplicate content in the nodes.

Wordpress is nice for simpler sites.
EZpublish is great for the more complex site.
