A:
I'm one of the developers of Refinery CMS and I would recommend it for the use you've described.
Refinery has been built over a period of 4 years where we have shown it to regular people and let them update their site without our help. We purposely leave out technical details from the UI so it is extremely straight forward for a non-technical client to use.
Which is who a CMS is supposed to be for, right?!
If you have a smaller site you need to build in the future, there is also a hosted version of Refinery called Refinery HQ which allows you to quickly and cheaply give your client an editable site using all the same tools the open source project offers.

Because you're a developer/contributor to an Open Source project. I give you cred. Way to go!

We've just chosen Refinery as our CMS of choice at my workplace (a mid-sized ad agency in Chicago). We like the portability of code, and the themes support. I highly recommend it as well.
