wordpress is easy if you want to use the template you chose, exactly as is. I find there are too many steps to change simple things around. Everyone says wordpress is the best for a non-developer...but I just don't find that the case. Or maybe I just don't like their overall setup...and they sure can be buggy.

I love the look of many drupal sites, but the learning curve seems steep.

Some of the more simplier platforms i.e. b2evolution, nucleus...have very limited templates out there and small communities. Is there anything out there that is good for beginners who want lots of template options and ability to customize?

Wordpress!

Wordpress is ridiculously awesome and easy to configure. It really is one of the most under-rated blog/cms systems ever.

Seems extremely unlikely. Flat files are not the way to go for large content, safety, and other reasons.

Wow, I can't believe that nobody is pushing Drupal. For a full-blown site, there is no better. There is a learning curve, but if you can handle it, you will be much better off in the long run. The load handling capabilities are amazing.

Sites using Drupal: Amnesty International (amnesty.org), MTV UK (mtv.co.uk), Warner Brothers Records (warnerbrothersrecords.com), popular science (popsci.com), aol corporate (corp.aol.com) ... yahoo research (research.yahoo.com)... and tons more.

For churning out quickie sites, mini sites, simple content sites, sure - Wordpress is awesome. For more than that, go with Drupal. You can crank out good looking websites in short periods of time, especially with the multi-site functionality.

Sorry there are more Joomla fans here like myself, but Drupal is definitely a strong second!
