Indiana University uses Sakai (http://oncourse.iu.edu/). At the time I used it ('04-'08), it was...better than Blackboard, but still generally a pain. The design was poor, the UX was awkward - just a deeply unsexy experience overall.

It might be better now, but I have a feeling that most LMS software is doomed to being, well, LMS software.
