It's a really great alternative to bloated ones like Joomla!. I was using Joomla!, but was getting increasingly frustrated with their lack of standards compliance, lengthy development cycles, and apparent code bloat. TYPOlight is the opposite! New releases are frequent and there's a built-in updating tool called "Live Update" that makes installing the new versions as easy as a few clicks. Clean code output, customizable layouts, built-in CSS editor, calendar/events, granular user management, news/blog, etc. Sorry, I didn't mean this to be a TYPOlight advertisement, but I have just loved using it so much.

I ran into a couple bad plugins. It's the dark side of open source... sometimes people don't take care with the code. There is a new version of Joomla that is supposed to a lot better in terms of standards compliant code and reliability. I haven't checked out the new version yet, so I can't give an opinion there. Maybe I'll have to install Drupal soon and check it out too. Well, you may have the same issue with Joomla. I ran into a couple bad plugins.

We've been toying with the idea of going with CMS for a couple of years. I did install Drupal, and had a semi-decent prototype, but it kept spontaneously "breaking", as in, all by itself. I can only assume it was one of the numerous plug-ins I employed to customize the site, but it was irritating. I just installed Joomla to try it out.

I don't want to start a Joomla vs Drupal flame war or anything... just curious for your thoughts. We used it to develop our church site (<a href="http://www.kcctriad.com" rel="nofollow">www.kcctriad.com</a>) and liked it. But, I've not worked with Drupal before.
