Try Chrome Sniffer works perfectly and identifies almost every CMS and JavaScript Frameworks and other plugins like Piwik etc.

It's doubtful you'll find a tool that can identify the CMS behind any site, if only because it's possible to hide most of them if you're determined enough and some even make it easy.

Wappalyzer can be installed as a plugin for Firefox or Safari, and also offers a bookmarklet version at bottom of the install page.

BuiltWith runs as a web service and provides a lot of information like Javascript libraries used, advertising managers, etc. including some CMS apps.

There's a Windows application called CyberMake that seems primarily intended for keyword research which claims it can identify an extensive list of applications. But it seems sketchy to me for several reasons you can figure out yourself if you decide to search for it.
