Some popular cms
Drupal
Joomla
Wordpress

Wordpress
I personally think Wordpress is the easiest of the bunch to get up and running.
If you are a seasoned web developer, WordPress is the fastest to get up and running, and with the amount of plugins and specialized themes available, you can probably get it to where you want in a very short amount of time (weeks instead of months).
WordPress used to be extremely blog-centric instead of a full featured CMS, but now with custom post types you can make it whatever you want. It's has a very pluggable interface so plugins are simply uploaded and turned on. And the community that builds them are in the thousands. WordPress also has huge community support. Anything you need can be answered by them.
The above here gives WordPress the edge for gettings websites up and running with ease and speed.
Drupal is a much harder to setup CMS. Recent versions have helped this but it's still a very different kind of CMS. The terminology is tricky to grasp, and immediate understanding is confusing for new users. Drupal is a very powerful CMS and I have only worked with it a little to build a basic site but enough to feel is this worth my time.
With any CMS, time and patience they can all do everything you want given your programming experience, but the initial setup to get something going I'd have to give it to WordPress.
