Before choo
There are many factors in choosing platform. Joomla is popular because its ROI is so good, and it wins hands down at this time. Is Joomla perfect? Nope. But you can customize it, and pick-and-choose exactly how you want it to behave if you truly learn it, including the tips and tricks. And, it is second only to WordPress in the number of extension options available (MOST of which are free).
It comes with a decent ACL that is good enough for most web sites. If you need more granular user controls, then use a third-party extension until 1.6 is ready for production sites. My site is fairly complex, and the core ACL works just fine for my needs at the moment.
You must understand, Joomla is not just a CMS, but an extensible framework that, if you learn how to code, you can readily make plugins for. Don't want the code bloat? De-install stuff. Many of the modules it ships with CAN be de-installed. Also, choose your extensions carefully, pick a clean template (not those freakin' bloat monster club templates!), optimize your CSS - just like you have to do with any other site. If you don't want to put in the work, don't use this CMS. NO powerful CMS is simple out of the box - ESPECIALLY not Drupal. A lot of the complaints about Joomla are due to poor choices in setting it up.
I agree with the poster who complained about Mootools... good grief I hate this framework! I much prefer jQuery (Drupal got THAT right!). Guess what? Yep, I got jQuery working as my Joomla frontend javascript framework of choice.

I don't have any php knowledge, from the first time I run Joomla on my local server till now. I would like to say joomla is the best cms I have ever met. I don't need to take care of templates for there are a lot of great template over there for few bucks. pay for them then concentrate on contents.

I have tried Joomla in the past and I have tried it again now, and I must say, I don't like Joomla at all. I don't realy know what it is, I just find it awkward to work with. Drupal is my top pick, I have even tried Modx and didn't like it either, sorry.

Why do so many people question the Joomla! better than wordpress and drupal?
simple answer, because they love Joomla!

I wait until 1.6 release.
Then most serious (and just) complains about Joomla will go away.
I mean nested article categories, and access control list. If those issues are solved (as they are in 1.6) no immediate complains come to my mind.
1.6 will rock

A CMS way above Drupal. Excellent, and thousands of top modules, thousands of top themes.

I'm a bit surprised when I saw Joomla outranked Drupal here. Drupal is actually better than Joomla from many aspects, most notably its stability and flexibility in being easily extensible. Joomla is good, but Drupal is excellent.

All I can say is..........Joomla does not deserve the 4.8 star rating that it has gotten here, I don't think it's bad either, but an almost perfect score? I DON'T THINK SO!!! Drupal or Wordpress (blog) are much better & preferred by all of our clients.

But it's structure is not very smart (Taxonomy, Content-Types, User-Management, etc.) From Core, Joomla is not very flexible. Other Components have to build this complexity by itself if it's needed. So you get with Joomla a lot of big Modules, which are sometimes feeling like a CMS inside another CMS.
Drupal is doing a MUCH better Job for me in that respect. In some chases i wish back the simplicity of Joomla (WYSIWYG, Picture Gallery's...).
I've used Joomla/Mambo for 4-5 years and it did ok. If you dont want to go too deep into it, it will do a better Job than Drupal (which is frustrating in the beginning)

Several years ago, I was searching for a website foundation I could build upon. That's when I found opensourcecms.com (thanks guys) and tried Joomla. At first glance, I found it easy to install and it looked great. But when I dove into the heart of it, to see how to modify it, or create plugins for it, I got lost. I can program, but not at that level. I was checking out a few of the other popular or top rated CMS's as well, and settled on e107. I come back annually, to try the popular ones again, and I did try Joomla again, but I still doesn't fit for me.

It is a demanding system for hosting, even with a minimum of site visitors may fall.

Joomla is crap and very slow. Anything that comes with a Moo-tools package has issues. Moo-tools is crap too.

I wouldn't call Joomla powerful either. It's more advanced than most free CMS and is not very difficult to use.
