But as far as SEO goes.. it's No 1 in my book :) As an CMS i think wordpress is great out of the box (ok maybe needs a couple of plugins) but i have to agree with you on the menu control.. that needs attention.

Presumably these abilities would need to be native, i.e. not added afterwards with plugins, or add-ons? After all WordPress could be made to do these things with a plugin if you so desired. I'm still not sure I really understand the difference.

However, full content Managing Systems do the things you ask and allow easy porting of various other content systems, such as Galleries, shopping carts, wiki's etc. Which is why I went away from trying to bend WordPress into a CMS and instead got a CMS that I can add WordPress to if I need a blog content tool. I am still tweaking my Cms site but it will soon have WordPress content as well as Blogger content all within my CMS. That is what a CMS should do... also there will be other content and links on the site, BLOGS are not the only content on the web.
