How does CMS MS stack up against all the other CMSes such as:
Joomla
Word Press
Movable Type
Xoops
etc.?

I saw this website but I need to stick to one CMS for my site development. Any help would be appreciated.

I guess it depends on what you want. As for ease of use and user friendliness, I think CMSMS is miles above the others.

In developing sites for end users to manage, it is by far the easiest to train them on.

WordPress is being used more and more as a dedicated CMS not just a blog.  But there's one thing it still hasn't been able to do (or at least not without a LOT of tweaking), and that is offering up separate content to registered and non-registered users.  Joomla and Drupal can do this.  But their learning curves are so steep.  Drupal less so.  Drupal also has an excellent forum system, but I find its backend to be extremelly difficult and not very intuitive.  Joomla's backend is oh so very pretty but I just never could wrap my head around the way it works.  Also, if you are a CSS purist, you'll hate it because it sneaks tables in just about everywhere.  Even Joomla templates that are touted to be pure CSS templates suffer when they are deployed because the Joomla core spits out tables.  Ugh. 

And as I said in a previous post, if you need to create forms, CMSMS is the way to go.  It doesn't get easier than CMSMS's forms module.

If I were you, and this is just strictly my opinion, I'd master CMSMS and WordPress.  Between these two CMSMS's you've got every client scenario covered, IMHO.
