I am not sure, if this question really belongs here, anyway here are few my points:

  • you have to get the proper Liferay mindset to get things work
  • insufficient developer documentation (they are trying to improve it)
  • a lot of code in JSP files
  • little (if any) support for TDD
  • many things are hard (or impossible) to override without hacking into the Liferay's source code

If you need just CMS, I would recommend looking for an other option, e.g. Magnolia CMS (disclaimer: I am a former Magnolia CMS developer).

On the other hand, if you need a collaboration tool (wiki spaces, forums, possibility to create open/private groups, ...), then Liferay if probably the best free option (there are better, but paid).
