I mean, Joomla has the same problems you get with Wordpress; security, need to constantly update and those updates are likely to break whatever theme/plugins you are using. Dependency on themes and plugins for layout apart from the baked-in boilerplate unless you're able, willing and funded to code the layouts yourself, and if thats the case you might as well just roll your own site/CMS with frameworks.

Expression Engine is really where it's at for CMS. Especially if you're going to drop some change on themeing anyways, precluding the whole justification for free opensource in the first place.
