Hi Harald,
I really like plone ;-)

* It is a kindasorta web server, but a dumb one, so it needs an apache
anyway to front it.
yes, so what ? It is a rendering engine, cacheing and deleivering is
done much better by other products (apache, squid).
* It has some content management backend (zope?) which so far noone has
managed to reallt learn, so every upgrade is a 'do we dare' nightmare
well, you can't really blame that on zope, can you ?
* The only way I know to get content into it is the horrible builtin editor.
There are many other ways.
One Jakub has described (External editor), the other popular one is the
FCKEditor http://plone.org/products/fckeditor
Depending on your version of plone you can even use WebDav.
* There is a markup language, but as noone knows if you can do that particual
thing in the markup language and it is difficult to find out, people
write HTML anyway.
Jakub answered this one.
* I don't know how to get content out again.
This is a problem to all CMSs. What about "wget -r" ?
* It has builtin user management and what you see depends on if you
are logged in or not (the articles have states, like "published"
which are not visible for everyone), for me this results in an
login-logout-login work cycle.
Well, you might want to use a second browser (there is a nice nordic
one), with which you are not authenticated to test the result.
Otherwise, you I can send you instructions how to switch between the
different view-modes.

* We still have bugs like "can not see version history" which we have
not figured out (well, we are not a web shop, but OpenAFS is neither).
which is a Python
powered content management system. The downside to this solution is
that it requires a long-running process and a bit more resources than
classic "bunch of php" would use and needs a slightly more exotic
configuration in the frontend web server.
The CPU cycles are not a problem today.
On the upside, it is
self-contained and requires little more than modern gcc and svn to
clone the whole site.
As the OpenAFS web site does have very little interactive content and
all the people who contribute know how to edit a file in AFS, I'd
recommend a setup which builds on these skills, maybe with some "make
&& make install" which does checks and builds the menu and does a vos
rele.
# All this does not mean that we do not need a refurbished web site.
# Appearence is of course made with css, CMS or not.
Harald.
