Best free Content Management System (CMS)

[vcpt]

WordPress, Drupal, Joomla.
Out of the above three only WordPress seems to be a good CMS. Although it is for a blog based website, you can easily change things around. The plugin support is just superb. WordPress also helps search engine bots to crawl properly. If anyone here haven't tried WordPress yet, then you are really missing a great piece of software. It's far better than Joomla.

Yes I'm also using joomla and I think its not really complicated to use for a person with some initial know how about using CMS. I think this is the best Content Management System. Many free plugins are also available for joomla to customize and extend it.

I have tried Joomla. What I felt about Joomla is that it does not give you control over advanced functions. It is so limited. But Drupal is no better. If I were to choose betweem Drupal and Joomla I would like Joomla. Drupal is way too complicated. Not to mention its administrative interface, it looks so alien type. A cms similar to that of a blog platform wordpress will make a good cms.

I have tried Drupal, Joomla and Mambo. Both Mambo and Joomla look alike and I felt them as a bit complicated. But Drupal is really simple and I maintain a few sites with it. Its just my experience.

Joomla should be banned or should be named like "only for users who has a lot of time to waste". bad bad bad.no other words for joomla. In this world of SEO optimization how this idiot CMS still uses paragraph type "commas"? it's like writing an essay on the address bar? hahaha.dumb peoples' dumb cms. drupal is also complicated but faaaaarrr more better than joomla. try to make all your site with drupal or joomla. what is the meaning to make a website which google will never index?

Don't say so. There are many sites made of Drupal and Joomla and are among the top in google search. User experiences with CMS may vary with persons and we two share the same feelings with Joomla.
