A few powered by ExpressionEngine:

Both Obama campaigns
US Dept of State
iLounge, the largest iOS site
Governor of California
A List Apart (immediately recognizable by anyone in web development)

EE has a good security record. Checking the DHS vuln database for EE 
showed four records; Joomla had 774.

Every CMS has its partisans. My own reaction to Joomla and WP is 
unfavorable as far as usability and templating are concerned. I led a 
development project on a Joomla site for a large client. I thanked 
heaven when it was over and could return to EE development.

My problem with Drupal was its yawning list of unsupported and poorly 
documented plugins. We tried to install a Drupal based collaboration 
site and hired a Drupal expert, but she could not install it on any 
platform and gave up.

That said, I know Drupal 7 is popular, particularly in government; and 
now it has commercial support.

As to Textpattern (TXP), I consider it an antidote to WordPress and love 
working with it. It has long been a favorite of designers, but certainly 
is a smaller community than WP. Almost every other CMS is. Ghost is also 
making a splash as a WP competitor; it is Node based where I think more 
CMS will move to eventually.
