For me to say that I can compete on any level with CMS is absolutely impossible. As I am writing this there are hundreds if not thousands of web developers, programmers designing new add ons, extensions, plug ins and improving that core components of systems like Drupal and Joomla. As far as I know Joomla is owned or financed by Google.
Developers that work on Drupal are getting infinite capital from companies like Sony to design a better CMS. Even if I had a staff of one thousand of employees working on web development I would not even come close to what is possible with Joomla and Drupal in less time.
I transfered all my websites to CMS most Drupal. It took me minutes to desing websites with Drupal that before took me months to design with just Dreamweaver.
CMS will be webs standard..... WHY? because of infinite capital from companies like Google, Sony, DELL, etc... and thousands of programmers that work day and night around the world to make it better.
Just to get a glimps of whats possible with CMS take a look at the Joomla's website and take a look at all the extensions, themes, plug-ins, that are available for FREE!!!.
Seriously you can build next Amazon.com in a week with CMS.

As I mentioned before, I am a Joomla User & I have the SEF extension... When activated the extension uses a Cache (.Htaccess) to aid the SEF transition. Not only does this take up more server space for a site like mine that has 3,000+ pages, the outputted URL is still gibberish. Shorter yes, but still digits, dashes, equals, etc.... (Not my Idea of fully SEF URL's)
Joomla would require a Full Core overhaul in order to produce SEF friendly URL's like CMSMS (CMS Made Simple). The designs I did on that CMS platform were very SEF. The URL's dynamically produced are page title based (Textual).
Again, while CMS's I feel as well will become a standard, I also feel that the overnight self proclaimed Guru's will just use this as yet another reason to start there business in access of there trial version of DW. All they have to do is install / set-up / Add content / & put a few images up... Then they can call it a website design. (What a Joke)... I mention this because I have already seen them doing it.
Matter of fact, I have acquired a few clients for redesign that paid for a self proclaimed Guru's services. The hardest part in dealing with them was re-training there brain to the standards rates & procedures rather than what the self proclaimed Guru taught them. To be honest, I end up having to turn 7 out of every 10 away because they have inadvertently turned into a designers Nightmare (E.G. Nitpicking, Nickel & Dimming, Overly Tweaking, Think they can design it them self easier, Etc...).
Ok, I don't want to write a book all in one post
This is all just my opinion, but hey, what do I know....
