HTML or CMS

Just interested to hear what most of you use these days to make websites.
Im kinda old school and always use HTML to make sites, never been a fan of wordpress ( I'm not a blogger)

But more and more mags seam to be talking about CMS joomla, concreat5 ect.

So what do you use and when is one better than the other?

Sorry the question should have been, when do you use and not use a CMS then?

So looking at the replys most of you dont do static sites no more?

So basically your saying more or less everything should be CMS now days unless its something like a personal one that I can change as and when I want.

When i did look at them before I did like the idea of the clients been able to update the sites themselves.

The only one i have used is joomla and that was for one site.
But dosnt CMS limit creativity and such or are you still able to mod things to how you want them? and can you still use Jquery / php and that stuff in there?

So is it wordpress for the win ? or is concrete5 any good?

TIA

So for example http://alexgurghis.com/themeforest/solaris/pricing.html the pricing boxes are divs with the larger one named something different and abit more css attached.

Is something like that easy to achieve?

If i have all the HTML and CSS already how longs that take to port over to a CMS if im a noooooob
