Well, the funny thing is that over and over and over I've seen people
think this, argue plausibly that it's true, and then fail to do it in
practice.

Having been, and in some senses still being, in the CMS business I
very strongly second what David Heller wrote: toolbox CMS systems are
the best. That said, for specialized tasks (weblogging, online
magazine, newspaper, etc) you can create off-the-shelf tools. To do it
in general you can just forget about.
