@Keith,
Joomla is little complicated for starters and even the menus are bit tough to understand, but once you master it, its having lot of features than Wordpress.

I used to use Joomla for quite a lot of time on my blog earlier and found it to be too complicated for the user.

The administration was quite confusing so I promptly switched to WordPress.

@Shankrila,
Thats true, Joomla’s wide range of menu was always confusing for me. I think this is what the new version has, looks like more compact.

Nirmal, that is very true but Joomla was also confusing with the wide range of menu options in the admin panel. Drupal had a higher learning curve but once you get the hang of it, a user can appreciate it. Again, Joomla has tried to just that – clean up a lot of the mess so it could definitely be what I say Drupal is, in the new release.

@Shankrila,
I feel Joomla is bit more easier to use for a newbie than Drupal, whats your opinion.

I have always considered Drupal to be more elegant in its architecture but the newly overhauled Joomla 1.5 definitely begs for attention. I have already downloaded it and will give it a whirl sometime today to check out theobvious improvements. Thanks for the heads up Nirmal!
