Wordpress gives me that through plugins, however from bitter experience too many plugins can bring Wordpress to a crawl, it would still be my first choice for a design lead marketing site with basic functionality. Orchard gives me a strong foundation to build moderatly complex websites with specific requirements above and beyond what I can build with Wordpress with the added advantage of incorporating up to date best of breed technologiers such as MVC, Razor and NHibernate. Umbraco has a strong userbase, and I would absolutely consider using it although if I have to learn something from scratch then I would prefer to start from something I know and love (MVC/Razor/NHibernate) than take a step into the past to use Webforms.

Orchard: (realtively) new kid on the block - good for more complex, bespoke projects as offers more flexibility but is a more complex platform itself. Umbraco: somewhere in the middle! I'd be particularly interested to hear about what people using Umbraco think of it as a platform? General consensus being:
