PHPNuke sounds like a Nuke program but its really a already made website that can be customized to look and feel any way you want. You need PHP and MySQL installed on your webserver to use it.
I use PHP-Nuke on my site and it's fast. You just have to know what you're doing when you set it up. Also yes theres a lot of people that use it and end up with a crappy looking website. The reason for that is they're n00bs and because they make their templetes or download a crappy looking one.
You can use PHP-Nuke if you want, but be careful. There are security holes in the program. I found 2 sites last week who have had the admin accounts hacked into and removed everything.
If you don't want PHP-Nuke, you can always try it's oponent - Post Nuke. It's almost like PHP-Nuke, but not much is made for it.

Its like a news automated system used on th www. It deals with databases and stuff.
The problem with it, though, is that because it's so extremely easy to set up a site with, it leads to a large number of low-quality sites.

anyways, I found that everything with nuke in its name is not as good as the other CMS Portals.
