I've used Drupal. What's good: the community and the architecture of
the system (APIs, modules etc.). What's not so good: its usability.
I've been asked to train someone (an office admin) in adding events, a
task that I find tedious in the extreme. I'm >< this close to ditching
the Drupal site and replacing it with an iCal-parsing event display
page, with Google Calendar as its data store.

Good luck. Minimal googling seemed to indicate that all the major CMSs
have incredibly poor usability.
Take a look at my cms tag on del.icio.us:
