Jim,

CMF is a framework, hence usability is largely up to you.  In my work with
the CMF, I have completely reskinned the necessary functionality and use the
components of the framework as necessary.  For user management, content
management, workflow, and many other areas I have found the CMF very usable
(and highly customizable in the event of any difficult user experiences).

I would recommend following Chris' lead on looking at Plone, but don't
forget you have the opportunity to make the CMF as "usable" as you wish.

Kevin

I wouldn't exactly desribe the CMFDefault stuff as 'usable' in this sense
;-)

Look at Plone, it seems to be making a lot of headway in this area...

cheers,

Chris
