nvu will be more like Front Page, in that you can sculpt individual pages  
to have any look you want.  You totally and completely author each page,  
and templates which you make yourself.

With Mambo, Joomla, or Drupal, (do not touch Post-Nuke or any other Nuke)  
you have a full web applications package.  Calendars, news, news feeds,  
mail list subscriptions, forums, blog-like stuff, file downloads, files  
are cataloged by category, website is searchable, etc.  You have much less  
control over the look of the page, you may only download templates from  
websites and install them, then maybe put up a logo and some  
advertisements, but you have your super-sweet tools, and they're usable in  
minutes.
