I did the CMS search a couple of years ago, built a few sites on
WordPress, one with Joomla, and settled on Drupal. Unfortunately, I
can't say Drupal is easy to learn. Also, WordPress does some things
out of the box that you need multiple plugins (they call them modules)
to do w/ drupal. Thinks like automatically creating hierarchical urls,
and breadcrumbs.

On the plus side, it's extremely powerful, especially if you have PHP
skills, and once you know how it works, there's a lot that you can do
fairly easily. It's gotten a little better with v6, and for v7 (which
probably won't be out for 9 months), there's a big push to improve
usability. There are also decent books out there now.

If you just want a basic content site w/ a blog, I might still go w/
WordPress, but if you have something more like an app that you're
building, or you have content types that you want to enter as data
fields, Drupal might be the way to go. There's also a pretty good
ecommerce solution that runs on Drupal called Ubercart.
