In terms of development, what are the advantages / disadvantages of the main content management systems?

Question

I am interested in using CMS instead of building a site from scratch. However, as a software engineer, if I am going to use open source tools, I will use them to the full, including the ability to develop plugins / extensions / modules and, possibly, even the introduction of basic code.

I am currently watching WordPress , Drupal and Joomla! . It seems that they have all the functions that I need, either as main functions or plugins. However, I am curious how difficult it is to learn the system and then develop it.

Does anyone have any experience? When using and developing WordPress, Drupal and / or Joomla !, What were your impressions?
