A good CMS saves time and money.

I've worked on way too many sites that have poor CMSs. The problem is if your CMS is impossible to use it becomes increasingly hard to add content!
I've had to rebuild sites from scratch because of poor CMSs; there is nothing more annoying than having to spending 100s of lines of code on something that should take just a few.

So you've installed a CMS? Great! Now use it correctly! If you're not spending the time to learn all it's functions and methods what's the point in using it? For example if your CMS has a user library included, then use it. You're only going to run into problems later if you get lazy and use a 'SELECT * FROM `users`'.
