Easy to learn but bulky
Easy to learn and very versatile with great plugins but it just wont run at an acceptable speed on godaddy servers, even with every effort taken to lighten the application. I have moved on to wordpress now as some of the lighter templates run ok on my hosting.

Most effective CMS
I installed so many CMS for the research and I found JOOMALA is the Best and Most Effective CMS. I recommend to my friends.
Solid application with a million possibilities!
Joomla is an amazing website base to start from! The only drawbacks are that some Joomla sites can be slow, but if you use an optimized template like the one here: http://www.joomlapolis.com/content/view/7555/1/ That will not be a problem. Also, if you want Wordpress like abilities to tag content items then use K2, which has blown my mind: http://k2.joomlaworks.gr/ But basically ANYTHING you want to do with Joomla has probably already been written. Search the Extensions directory here: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/ Good luck!
If you are a developer, this is super fast to pick up and use
I just built a small company website in this in about 8 hours having never touched it before using a modified free template. I have never been able to complete something this fast in a CMS and the client loves it.
Quirky and buggy
I use Joomla at work and installed it here to learn more about it. I am constantly fighting the online editors. Joomla has a habit of modifying URLs and either inserting or removing parts presumably to make it more efficient but actually breaking the link. You have to learn how to fake it out, assuming you can. The editors also tend to be What You See Ain't Exactly what You're Going To Get. Line breaks and paragraph tags are especially problematic. On one system I use, I can only see the left half of the editor window. Troublesome if I need a button on the right side. The default setup does not use SEO friendly URLs. Try something else before you commit to Joomla.
