Wordpress
I’ve just downloaded the WordPress 2.8 beta 2 and it’s looking good! I haven’t played with it too much yet, but one outstanding feature is the ability to search and add new themes from within your wordpress backend. No more downloading themes, expanding them, uploading them, then activating them. WordPress just became a whole lot easier to use out of the box.

I discovered Flutter the other day . It’s a fairly new product, but it looks extremely promising. I used ExpressionEngine a little at my last job, and it was okay. I wasn’t too impressed with it though, considering you have to pay a per-site fee. That, and there was a ton of EE only functions and tags to learn.
Flutter promises to bring some of the nice features of ExpressionEngine to the WordPress scene, absolutely free. That’s good news, I look forward to experimenting with the plugin in the near future.
