I've used Drupal for every site I've made for the last couple of years. I guess Drupal is different things to different people, but what I love is the power it gives me without having to write code. The combo of CCK, Views, Rules, Roles allows me to do almost everything I've ever needed, and I've got by without advanced development like hooks and custom modules.

I'm now learning ExpressionEngine for my company's website. It seems similar to Drupal in that by using code snippets (which isn't really coding) you can achieve some quite powerful things without having to be a full on developer.

So my question is, given my aversion to coding but need for power, are there any other CMS' worth looking at? Its not that I'm not technical (Drupal is famous for its learning curve!), but I'm much more comfortable with a UI than writing too much code.

Adobe Business Catalyst is a very powerful service that few seem to know about. (Paid, starting at /month.) It's pitched at non-coders, but powerful enough to build complex sites with as well.

Squarespace is another CMS pitched at non-coders. (Paid, starting at /month.) It's not as powerful as Drupal, but their in-browser design tools are impressive.

WordPress, Concrete 5, and Silverstripe are worth considering, but all need a limited amount of programming knowledge.

If you like ExpressionEngine, you should also check out MojoMotor, which is EllisLab's lighter-weight CMS designed to help less technical users edit simple sites.
