I've used quite a few different "CMS" systems and while Joomla was not the worst, I feel Joomla is not well designed from the perspective of the ignorant unwashed masses. I find this issue to be etremely salient when considered in light of Joomla's multilingual capabilities and menu capabilities. Being Canadian, many websites here require support for both English and French... it's just ridiculous to have to use a plugin module for language and to have to go to a completely different area of the site than the original content in question to add the French version. Similarly, I find the creation of menus very cumbersome. I feel Drupal does a much better job of handling these aspects. Also, Drupal was a lot faster... Joomla feels like I'm walking through a swamp of molasses. At any rate, to drive home the client perspective... they are only adding the simplest of content because they have difficulty using the site. As such they send me much of the content to add... this is completely counter to the purpose of the CMS.
