I'd never heard of Mambo before you mentioned it but I've had a quick look.
As per usual with cms's the general philosphy is:
If you want something quick and easy go with product xxx. (in this case mambo) *But*, if you want something that is incredibly flexible and extensible (yet takes a little longer to learn) go with ezPublish.
ezPublish is *the* most flexible cms I have ever seen.
There is a lot of nice things I can say about Mambo. Easy to install, nice design, user-friendly,++.
BUT!
The lack of version control of content, terrible template implementation, predefined content types, and no multi language support, makes this a CMS solution without a future for serious sites.
eZ Publish is the far best php-based CMS-solution I've used. The Midgard Project ( http://www.midgard-project.org ) should also be of interests for those of you controlling your own server.
I've briefly evaluated mambo for one of my projects and come across one major showstopper: mambo has very weak support for categories/sub-sections
on the other hand ezpublish is very flexible in this case. so if you need a lot of categories, subcategories many levels deep, ezpublish is a way to go.
