I've been through several website adoptions of CMS's (i.e. Zope) that turned out very badly, so am rather skeptical of the value of CMS systems in general,
Isn't Zope a web application framework rather than a CMS as such?
It has a CMS component called Plone. We have found that it has serious performance limitations, and does not play very well with non-Zope things (such as CGI scripts or PHP). Plone gets a lot of press, but it doesn't seem to be a very good solution, even if you're willing to go 100% Python for everything (as it requires). It cannot handle high traffic loads, for instance - we tend to lose the OSDL site for the day when we even get a modest slashdotting.
