I am looking for simple and Easy to customize type CMS in PHP or ROR, i have used joomla before but its getting complex to use for ordinary users and getting more sophesticated for nothing, so i am looking for a CMS which has all the basic features that CMS should have and yet easy to customize features and change the layouts easily Any suggestions ?
Drupal is awesome for many things, one of which is that you can customize admin menu, so you can make it as easy for use to and user as you wish. Ideally, they'll see something like "Create this content" and "create that content" and that's it :)

EDIT: Can you specific the functions of the CMS must have ?

Take a look at: cmsmatrix.org There you can compare hundreds of content-management-systems by many features!

I use Website Baker.
It's probably not as powerful as Joomla, but it's easy to understand and use.

One CMS I recently ran across was silverstripe. From looking at its code and some examples, it seems well written, supports easy extensions of the model as well as the behaviour and has a nice user interface. The basic functionality seems reasonable but not too complex. The project got quite a reputation since some of the Obama-Pages we're built on top of it. It is written in php5 in a cake-php like manner (which means you just need to supply methods with certain names to let the framework do all that magic stuff)...

wordpress.org is a great framework that can be adapted as a CMS.
a number of plugins are available to help - an interesting one i've found is called Pods

Joomla is too heavy and not simple to learn. The same for Drupal.
I use Websitebaker, a very good and easy to learn.

Hosted, but totally awesome: http://verbcms.com
Completely customizable, whitelabelable, and no templates. Written in ROR, allows you to code in PHP/HTML/HAML. They don't make you pay until your site goes live.
