Comment (by jprostko):

 Yeah, Drupal 8 should be fine, although it is a major change compared to
 Drupal 6 and 7 with its use of Symfony2 and Twig.  On the plus side, it
 should be able to migrate most of the data over from Drupal 6, which is
 something that will be a major pain with another CMS that has a completely
 different idea about how to store data compared to Drupal.

 With regards to other CMSs, my favorite choice nowadays for most sites is
 concrete5, but well, it's not a major player like the "big three" (Drupal,
 Joomla!, and Wordpress).  Also, their whole Marketplace setup can be a
 deterrent for many, as you won't necessarily find a ton of free themes and
 add-ons like you will for the other major CMSs.  Back in September they
 had their version 5.7 release without the usual painless upgrade script
 that is usually available between versions.  That said, they try to go a
 long time between upgrades of that nature, compared to something like
 Drupal.  In any case, I still think it's a month or two before I would use
 the 5.7 series in a high traffic, production environment, as I think most
 of the bugs and performance issues should be ironed out once version 5.7.4
 is released.

 Other than concrete5, I think the only serious PHP alternative to Drupal
 is Joomla.  Wordpress can be made to do whatever you please, but I still
 feel at its heart that it is best used as a blogging platform.  If a
 Python CMS was chosen, Django CMS seems decent.  That said, I admittedly
 don't have much experience with it, and I'm not too comfortable with the
 excessive time to load their home page (at least for me), as I have to
 wonder if the CMS will always perform like that once deployed, or if it's
 just a matter of doing proper caching.

 Anyway, that is my brain dump for now.  :)
