I've tried Wordpress for this purpose in the past, and just took a look at it again, but since I don't need, and in fact don't want a blog or comments, these are just extra complexity that need disabled. In the several minutes I looked, I could not even find a global comments disable option. (Unless this is different for Wordpress.com hosted blogs.)
Also, Wordpress has such a bad reputation for security that I would be hesitant to use it even if it offered the best in page organization and editing. This could just be a consequence of it being the biggest target, but its not something I want to deal with.
I hear you, but if your experience is with pre version 3 intallations of Wordpress, I will urge you to try again - they started getting a lotof stuff right in the 2.8-2.9 timeframe, and the version 3+ releases are, as I mentioned, really quite good little CMSes.
On the security reputation front, yeah, Wordpress does have a somewhat deserved bad rep, but the only times I (or any of our customers) have been bitten, it's been ultra-cheap shared hosting that's laelyt blame (along with Wordpresses php-reliance and it's need for guessable-path world writeable directories in the web root...)

Thanks for responding.

Have a look at http://www.tokens.com.au/ for example.
