Nice article, let just me put something right concerning eZ publish:

"eZ publish does not have the module development community that
Mambo, TYPO3, and Drupal have and most of the modules that are available 
are not open source."

eZ publish goes beyond dynamic content storage as it also allows you to 
define new content types at run-time in the admin interface. In eZ 
publish, content definition is part of content management.

Hence, no need to create new modules just to store a new type of 
content, no need to do programming there. In eZ publish extensions, you 
define new views/designs/templates and business logic, not new content 
types.

This significantly reduces the amount of extensions you need to program. 
Nevertheless, there are over 300 contributions available online, and 
they are Open Source: http://ez.no/community/contribs
