I employ Post Nuke for my personal webpage and for that purpose it does perfectly fine. These programs that "suck" may not be for hardcore e-commerce solutions (Security issues, organization, etc), but they work for sites like slashdot and such. Database driven sites can be coded in numerous ways to make the actual administration much less time consuming.
i don't like pre-made systems like PostNuke and PHPNuke since the majority of users that use those systems don't use anything unique, design and programming wise. to me, this shows the too-common trait of human nature to just settle for whatever works. i consider myself a perfectionist (you can ask slaughter, i constantly rant on his favorite bands), so i always try to bring something unique, different, and original to anything i publish on the world wide web. perhaps, in other words, i just like to take the scenic route rather than the highway.
