I think the first point to realise is that there's a huge scope as far as potential CMS functionality is concerned. At one end of the market are the big enterprise level CMSs complete with workflow, permission groups, asset management, etc. At our end we've created a hosted solution (http://www.cushycms.com http://www.cushycms.com) that takes 2 minutes to install and no training, etc. Personally it always amaze me how difficult most CMSs are to use. The fundamental point of them is to allow non-technical people to edit content. The other problem we've tried to tackle is that it can often take days for a developer to implement/customize a CMS. Sure we've sacrificed some functionality (editors can't add pages) but we felt it made sense to start with base of easy/fast and build from there.
