Suitability for beginners

We tried to picture if a non-technical user could operate each CMS well enough to be able to post content and make some simple configuration changes.

Sticking with the defaults, needs an expert to make it usable for a newcomer. It lacks an admin button, preferring a URL for access. If you’re logged in with privileges then the modules that make up the page elements, such as the sidebar, do have edit icons on them. Obviously, there’s room to change all of this with themes and admin options, but new users are left with an odd mix of easily accessible changes they can make, and yet they have no simple button to press to create a new post because this is achieved in the admin panel.
