I've just spent what feels like and probably is weeks trying to find the best CMS for my needs.

I ended up with 2 finalists: Joomla and WebGUI (http://www.plainblack.com/webgui)

I am interested in two types of CMS and hope I can find both types in one...

A. - I need one that is:
Powerful, configurable, template-driven with possibility to use and develop own plug-ins

B. - And another one that is:
VERY easy to administrate, template-driven.

It seems as Joomla wins for place A and WebGUI for B. For convenience, I would like to believe Joomla is best choice for both. I have these pros for Joomla and WebGUI, will you update me on any aspects that I may have missed for Joomla? Would be great!

Joomla Pros:
- Large user community
- PHP-based (WebGUI is Perl-based and I cannot modify perl-scripts or make plug-ins...)

WebGUI Pros:
- VERY easy administration (check that demo for WebGUI out, it is wonderful, having access to direct editing, drag-n-drop of sections and more directly when viewing the site in admin-mode! I have a screenshot attached)

I tell you right now: If Joomla ever got such an intuitive admininterface as WebGUI I and I guess many others would be in CMS-heaven...

I think Joomla supports all that easy editing as well ... I tried a demo of WebGUI but don't see the 'drag and drop sections' feature anywhere ... I only tried a few seconds so I guess I overlooked it. But in short .. I think Joomla is fine for what you want

I've tried both,
and I can recommend joomla over webgui.. for many reasons from community support, advanced features, simplicity (something I found web gui lacks when you try to do something different to it's main functions)
