Drupal is naturally complicated, since it is really a set of frameworks and tools for building your own CMS. So it is understandable if a derivative still retains some complexity.
#BoltCMS seems to have descended from now abandoned blogging tool #PivotX ( http://pivotx.net/ ), which itself descended from #Pivot ( pivotlog net, but the current site is likely not run by the people behind the original software ). I used both of these back in the day, and if Bolt is anywhere near as easy to use, I'd be happier with it than with Backdrop. -

While #Drupal is not hard to set up, it is a complex process to get it set up for any specific task. Select the add-ons / plug-ins / extensions needed. Oops, cannot install because you need these prerequisites. Oops, one of these is outdated, please download the newest version, then upload it to the server.
Add to that, update schedules are unsynchronized, so you'll update it tomorrow, and by Tuesday, you'll be getting alerts about outdated plug-ins.
Having said that, I do not know of anyone using it as a document store. I'm sure there are add-ons that make that possible, but I do not know the ecosystem well enough to point to any. -

* Bolt — https://bolt.cm/ supposedly really simple to use and to theme
* Joomla — https://www.joomla.org/ lots of add-ons and extensions available; has a weird mindset that one must absorb as far as where an item posts in the site hierarchy
* WordPress — https://wordpress.org/ most used ... and therefore, most attacked; they do frequent updates and patches, though; because of its gigantic ecosystem, there are themes and extensions for all sorts of things
* MODX — https://community.modx.com/ seems like the number of pre-made themes and extensions is smaller than Joomla and WordPress
* Concrete5 — http://www.concrete5.org/ one of the things I liked about C5 is that it appeared to allow editing right in the page itself (based on user permissions, of course). It seems like it would be a better choice for a site with non-technical editors.
There is also #Drupal ( https://www.drupal.org/ ) and its fork #BackdropCMS ( https://backdropcms.org/ ), but Drupal is really just a set of frameworks for building your own CMS. It gets really complex quickly. If you’re going to build dozens of sites with it, then it is worth learning all the pieces and how to fit them together with your own customizations. If you’re building one or two sites, look elsewhere.
I should just try a few of them out. -

INACTIVE (deadsuperhero)'s status on Friday, 01-Dec-2017 22:15:15 UTC INACTIVE Writing up a deep-dive of #Hubzilla as an upcoming #WeDistribute article.
It's a fairly comprehensive system, one that can act as a drop-in replacement for #Facebook, #DropBox, #iCloud, #Trello, #Drupal, and more.
I'm excited to really get in the weeds with this one, having used the system for several years. However, it's worth mentioning that this might be the most comprehensive review I've ever done of anything.

If many features were available in a single add-on for #Wordpress, or for #Joomla, #Drupal, or similar CMSs, maybe there'd be more people and sites following the #POSSE model (Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere).
