Can't Magento be used as a CMS as well? Cake can also be used to manage certain areas of the other packages if you modify the useTable information. There were a few blog posts I read when I was starting with CakePHP that discussed how to do it with Wordpress (for example).
Personally, I like the ideas behind Expression Engine, though I've never tried it. Honestly, since it uses CodeIgniter, it might be easier to fix errors with it too since CodeIgniter and CakePHP follow similar ideals (though still different enough to have a separate following). I would, however, be careful using too many separate applications for a single site.
