.Net based CMS's that are not sharepoint?

Anyone have experience or recommendations?

All of our websites at work are run on DotnetNuke.  It's a pretty bloated and slow CMS if you don't know what you are doing, although I am starting to like it a bit more now that I've learned how to have it get out of my way and be leaner.  Mostly though, it works well for us because at our company we have dedicated front end developers, and the webforms model (as boo and hiss it is) does work well for non-c# coders needing to modify frontend pieces.

Asp.net's website is run on Umbraco.  I've heard good things about it but never used it.

I used orchard for a very little bit.  I didn't like it that much although I didn't use it enough to figure out exactly why.

I've had clients running on both Umbraco and DotNetNuke. DNN used to be total shit but I've heard it's gotten a LOT better lately. Umbraco seemed pretty simple if you have developers on hand to work on it. I've used Sitefinity - it's a bit pricey and it's support is out of Eastern Europe but it has some decent features. Kentico looks pretty good as well, though again... developers.

I was looking at sitefinity seems reasonably priced if you don't have that many content contributers/admins.  We do have a few C# folks on staff and I am just switching over to it, Umbraco looks pretty good.  Dotnetnuke isn't even going to be considered as from a career standpoint I do not want to waste time learning webforms.

Just wondering: why not sharepoint? Is it a licensing cost issue?

Dotnetnuke seems to be the most popular by far. I've heard a couple vague good things about Orchard (http://www.orchardproject.net/) but I don't really know much about it. Maybe worth a peek.

The only people I have ever heard speak favorably about sharepoint are the people who purchase it, the people who actually have to develop for it all seem to despise it.  Money isn't really an issue, personally I am partial to open source but the people with the checkbook don't really care.  I did manage to talk them into giving drupal a look assuming I can get it working with MS SQL, so I am now in the midst of installing drupal, sitefinity and umbraco.

Drupal kind of bugged me. I was used to Joomla and tried to develop for it. If you've ever done any Wordpress development, it's basically a souped-up version of Wordpress, complete with similar templating structure. I gave up on it and went with a Wordpress blog instead.
