Amazingly, I've been asked to do the same thing (i.e look at CMSs for our intranet).

God only knows why they ask me to do this stuff...

Anyway, having just implemented a Mediawiki system for our docs system, I'm not keen on using it as a CMS, the "Management" side of it being basically a joke.

So at the moment, my shortlist is:
- Joomla
- errr...
- ...that's it

I looked at Plone, but the learning curve / language thing also put me off - and I dunno about Drupal, it's editor looks horrible from what I can tell (a decent WYSIWYG editor is a must-have).

"Free" is also pretty important - and PHP rather than some weird language no sane person has heard of.

I've tried CMS matrix, but it scares me, some recommendations would be useful

Any other suggestions? Failing that, any horror stories?

EDIT: I'm really tempted by this one:
