Where is the Typepad of Content Management Systems?

I've been playing around with content management systems for the past couple of months: Joomla, Typo3, Drupal, and more homegrown solutions. It seems that they're all pretty good, but I think there's a huge market opportunity for someone to develop the Typepad or Backpack of content management systems. By that I mean a CMS system that is:

  • Free or cheap
  • Ready to go in five minutes after signup
  • Looks great
  • Easy to use
  • Powerful
  • Scaleable
  • Customizable
  • Web 2.0 look and feel

So far I haven't found anything like this. Some try but they don't quite get there. Maybe somebody needs to read Getting Real and start filling this hole.

Mosaic has a site that is powered by WordPress and it looks amazing. Both blog and CMS.

wordpress wordpress wordpress wordpress.... wordpress is great if you're setting up on your own server, it also has a large community of people creating plugins and templates and widgets. wordpress also has a free wordpress.com server set up as an alternative to blogger.com drupal's nice, (we use it for idolblog.com) but i have to admit being a huge fan of wordpress as a cms that is both powerful and easy to install and easy to template and modify...
