There are many who address the common areas like the basic web site etc for example a workflow engine, a search and find engine, an excel computation engine, document management system, collaboration portal, and the list goes on. The problem is once you have a taste it is very compelling to get more (bit like a drug) but in a large company it addresses many areas of needs and requirements. The free version that comes with Windows only offers one slice of the 8 slices available. It is a powerful solution that far outweighs its competitors. you are also able to license it in smaller pieces so you don't needto have it all.

It also supports accessibility standards, which is a key requirement for public websites, that I believe is not supported out of the box by Sharepoint.

Its a pain and very time consuming in contrast to a CMS like drupal or plone, but the guy who decided to install it pretty much wets his pants on ms anything, despite having zero experience with any thing else (yep the office is moving to vista) ive had the displeasure of using it and themeing it.
