I really like zope. We use it for our school website.

Some say it has a steep learning curve, but I say it is more of an
oddly shaped learning curve. To get started and do simple things
with pre-made "products" is really pretty simple. More complex
things like creating your own products can take a while to master.

Things I really like about zope are zope page templates (zpt) which
can actually be used outside of zope, and the ease with which I can
delegate different sections of the site to different users/developers.
