Drupal is a great open source CMS with tons of Modules/Templates and good support though to be fair to faster, true customization of it requires an advanced degree in hyperbolic topography
f Joomla in it’s stupid a (and its little dog Mambo too).
Plone is extremely robust, but an f’ing b to setup.
CMS Made Simple is good but not great, ++ uses Smarty and has on server Smarty/CSS editing so customizing the look and feel from one of the crappy templates is pretty easy.
Wordpress is good, but not really a CMS; plus it’s too easy…so easy that anyone can “make a website” and help ruin the Internet with the ridiculous $h!t that’s in their brains. I know I have…
sorry if I made pee-pee on anyone’s cheerios.
BTW w!sh, if you are going to make an incredibly complex CMS using [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET), look into not doing that. Use CakePHP, RoR or another more responsive (and open source) framework, you and your users will appreciate it.
