ExpressionEngine isn't built on CodeIgniter, but EE2.0 is although it's in private beta. Still, CodeIgniter is a fantastic framework. You'll need the documentation open in a tab all the time, but it's fast to pick up and it constantly impresses me with it's power and ease of use. If you don't want to get stuck with Drupal, or whatever, take a look at CI.
One of the biggest pitfalls of building your own CMS is having to be tied to it for support, but at least if you use an established code framework and don't fuck it up somehow, any other developer should be able to wrap their head around it without too much trouble.
- you're right, current EE isn't built on CI, but EE 2.0 is.... both by Ellis Lab, CI is based in reality(!)vaxorcist
