Drupal

Drupal /ˈdruːpəl/[4] is a free and open-source content-management framework written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License.[3][5][6] It is used as a back-end framework for at least 2.1% of all Web sites worldwide[7][8] ranging from personal blogs to corporate, political, and government sites including WhiteHouse.gov and data.gov.uk.[9] It is also used for knowledge management and business collaboration.[10] The standard release of Drupal, known as Drupal core, contains basic features common to content management systems. These include user account registration and maintenance, menu management, RSS feeds, taxonomy, page layout customization, and system administration. The Drupal core installation can serve as a simple Web site, a single- or multi-user blog, an Internet forum, or a community Web site providing for user-generated content.

However, some CMSs have a slight edge over the rest of the competition because of the usability of the software. Some are just easier to install, use and extend, thanks to some thoughtful planning by the lead developers.
