Ok i have searched the site and did not find enough information concerning regarding what is a Geonode so i really thought i may ask everyone who has used it to give their opinion.
I am trying to set a website with geospatial data and want to decide whether it is a good solution.
Is it a web application framework like Geodjango, Is it a CMS like drupal for Geospatial information ? Can it be used standalone to deliver both Geospatial and some non geospatial content ?
And honestly , why isn't is as popular as it ought to be ( is it because it is new ?)
The official documentation at http://geonode.org/ provides considerable documentation and examples but i want personal opinions of experts who understand it well.

From the site's about page:
You might also want to check the presentation on Slideshare that details the motivations and origins of GeoNode.
In a nutshell, GeoNode is the application of the lessons learned from social media platforms to spatial data infrastructures. The premise is that the original way of sharing spatial data is broken and that we should copy the features work in social media platforms.
A YouTube for geospatial data if you will.
