I've never used Drupal, but a few months ago a client requested a site
using Typo3. Building a reasonably basic website wasn't that much of a
problem, but of course if you wanted a basic site you wouldn't be
using Typo3.

Accommodating exceptions in Typo3 turned out to be a real bugger, for
example displaying the first two levels of navigation on the left side
of the page for all sections, but displaying a third level of
navigation on the right for some sections only. Ten minutes of work in
PHP or Perl, but involving a very steap learning curve in Typo3. It's
an impressive system, with impressively powerful features, but I
wouldn't recommend it unless you have the time to experiment and do
research.
