I didn't mean to be troll-y, but I've built a couple sites in ModX and I really haven't enjoyed working with it at all. The bulk of my annoyance stems from the esoteric chunk/snippet/template variable system. Every time I wanted to do something I'd have to head back to Google and figure it out. That's the thing with weirdo template tag systems like this (Expression Engine can fall into the same trap); it's totally proprietary and even if I do manage to learn it pretty well I can't transport the knowledge anywhere else. At least with these other CMSs you're still working in PHP.
All that said, I would probably look at Expression Engine first because even when I got stuck with its built in tags I could usually work around it without *too* much trouble and the support is pretty good. You might have to pony up for the commercial license to get some necessary modules though.
