Wow! Joomla! announced the release of its 1.6 Beta version. This is fantastic news, I thought it would take much longer. We are hoping the full version becomes available in September-October. Until then, we'll do some testing and poking around but won't be recommending it to any of our clients.
From the description of it, it looks like Joomla! would now surpass Drupal and definitely Wordpress - by a large margin. It has always been a better CMS - despite all this hype about Wordpress (I find Wordpress sweet but rigid and not scalable and I will definitely not recommend it for any enterprise-level application or website).
Drupal is very scalable and flexible, indeed, but go and try to learn how to use it! After a couple of hours you will be wondering why all this talk about the beauty of Drupal...
Joomla had some minuses - I should say inconveniences rather - but 90% of which is going to get resolved with this new release, it seems. As for the rest, you can always install additional plugins and components. The most expensive Joomla components are around $300. Those are some of the most expensive ones, providing complex turn-key solutions (complete job board, real estate, sophisticated online auctions, etc). Try and do that with Wordpress...you won't be impressed, trust me.
Our Joomla web design Joomla Bliss will wait until the full release of Joomla 1.6!
