I don't know WebGUI, but I used Plone a bit at Exoweb and Drupal for  
my personal projects.

They're both full CMSes; but what is real and what is not is a bit  
subjective. Better to outline what you really want it to do and  
compare against the others, like nEO and Qiu Yu said.

If you're not looking for as large a system as what Craig talked  
about, I'd recommend Drupal. You can get it running quickly, but the  
infrastructure is solid, so extending it can be simple. I've heard of  
people adding modules to communicate with more advanced backend  
systems, so you can leave the fast interface end just in mod_php.

And although I've never maintained the system myself, after seeing  
people have so much trouble with Plone, I wouldn't recommend it, even  
though I think Python >> PHP.

What kind of things are you wanting to do with the system?
