> I refuse to run Wordpress due to it's security history and upgrade hell.

Your call, but IMO this is pretty short-sighted and reliant on outdated information. WordPress has put a lot of effort into application security and has improved considerably over the last few years. The "upgrade hell" days are essentially over; I've upgraded one blog from early 2.x to the current 3.5.2 release without a single broken plugin.

It's much like another PHP project, phpBB; I'd never have used phpBB2 but phpBB3 is a really pleasant tool.
