Last year I've done a bit of research for somewhat more informed packtpub award opinion, and Joomla! wasn't exactly shining on security front, too.
I don't want to sort of dismiss it but frankly, we didn't seriously consider that for several projects, both community and in-house corporate sites and then a few commercial works as well. eZ Publish was finally dropped due to similar concerns of ez.no as with Mamba/Miro (later it has proved somewhat correct, a site or two were hard to maintain). <a href=http://drupal.org/>Drupal</a> was runner-up -- and a solid one -- but among non-exotic CMS/CMF systems we've settled with <a href=http://typo3.com/>TYPO3</a> and while it can deliver quite a bit of frustration at times, the overall result one can achieve is simply not done with the rest of the block.
So most of the time we're just happy with it, be it core/extension upgrades, new functionality being deployed or new content being added or translated.
I wish Joomla well on both of these fronts but for those who don't really want to sit down and wait, look at these two: e.g. Mambo's gonna run forever behind TYPO3, what they've planned for 5.0 was in 3.8 here years ago. Yep, forks and delayed licensing cleanups don't help much either.
