Plugins checked out
Layout and types
Custom Post Type UI & Advanced Custom Fields: the equivalent of Drupal CCK / Fields, viewing and creating new content types and fields
Post formats (in-built) & Custom Sidebars & Page Builder by SiteOrigin & Widgets (in-built): like Panels / Context, Page Builder is on a post-by-post basis, Post formats is a template system, not related to the post-type, No current direct post-type <-> layout system found
Aqua Page Builder: template creation for posts -> uses shortcodes though
Meta Box:
Simple Page Ordering
TinyMCE Advanced
Types - Complete Solution for Custom Fields and Types: prefer Custom Post Type UI & Advanced Custom Fields
Conclusion: Drupal Panels style create a custom template: the only way out-of-the-box to style a HTML page for a custom type is with PHP post-initiative-profile.php template. Post-formats should do this but the list is hard-coded in WordPress 3.9.1. Drupal CCK fields management is the same. with field groups and content-type visibility rules.
