1. Drupal versioning and support.
2. Plugin and themes dependency
3. Upgrade process.

Then I rolled about laughing and stopped reading.

Well, this guy is using Wordpress, which is used to power thousands of blogs these days. I don’t blame on them. Many people have money to hire a developer to even create a “widget” showing past 10 comments which are posted today.
Also, you could pay someone else to manage something small.

Drupal is not a magic. It’s well-thought coding.
DRUPAL ROCKS!

First, you have to understand that if a CMS is fixing security issues, that’s good. Drupal does not charge you for security updates so why don’t this guy see the good side? Okay. Wordpress is now 3.X.X…. Typically these X.X versions don’t have major updates. So these X.X updates(minor updates) are just for either security fixes or bugs in core. The, why don’t you say WORDPRESS SUCKS ? Please be logical.
Also, nobody publish active security issues in latest version. If someone noticed or experienced security issues, they can securely inform to security team, there is an active, dedicated team for that.

Also, don’t think that Drupal is just a tarball which has all the functions out-of-the-box. You can’t build any good site without Views, CCK, Token and other few modules. How do you say is it okay to use core but not modules? If then, Drupal could create “magic-Drupal.tar.gz” package and include all 7789(to the date) modules in it, which costs 3 Gb of size, and you may need to update it daily. Funny ?
Understand the practical situation. In your own blog, don’t you use Akismet or any third party module ….. I got the word – “third party!”. Then, you say Drupal is “First party” ?

I’m not blaming anyone here, but these guys don’t understand basic theory.
If you don’t kn0w HTML, CMS is NOT the solution. Find a good online site building site or something like site-reptile, etc. Do not use CMS without understanding what is it.

Also, this blogger prioritize “piss” instead of Drupal. Also he/she don’t know what is a “View” at least. Views should be in the database because it’s coding. “View” just store a set of instructions to display certain things such “last 10 comments today”. Haven’t you used phpmyadmin’s views ?

>>WIB: Best practices dictate using a version control tool like Subversion or Git which, among other things, lets two developers “download” the same code so they can work on it simultaneously. Unfortunately for Drupal developers, database settings are not typically stored in version control. This means that two developers have no easy way of coordinating their work. Further, it means you’ll have a heck of a time replicating your settings across multiple servers if you have a high-traffic site that requires load balancing, or a staging server where you want to preview changes before they go live.
—– hahaha…. Does wordpress developers work on a code stored in a database ?
Don’t make me laugh, please. Database is just for data.

>>Logs record visits to your website, together with other useful details like errors. When you get lots of traffic, logs tend to get huge – we’re talking gigs. Logs are important for debugging, but, unless you’re a high-security outfit, they do not need to be permanently stored. If you back up your database regularly – and you should – you’ll be transferring all that unnecessary data every time you run a backup. Further, you might want to grant a sysadmin or programmer access to your logs to help diagnose a problem. You don’t want that person digging around in your database for this information: one bad search query and your data is gone.
—– If database logging is the problem, yoiu could set a limit or disable “database logging” module.(Drupal also support syslog which logs events to server itself.

You say you have to go to adminster > content management > content to edit an existing blog post. Are you blind ? Can’t you see “edit” link above the blog post ? To edit all posts, you have to go there. Do you suggest Drupal developers to put all links in one single menu level ?

Is Drupal searfch sucks ? Simply go to drupal.org and search for something. you will get neat results in few mili seconds. please don’t be point-less.

Thanks a lot for pissing. Please find a good place.

The first time I Googled for an answer — my crime had been not knowing what to make of a bizarre error that flooded my screen after I installed a module — I found a thread on my subject. Unfortunately, the thread consisted of:

Q: “Hey, guys, I got this error.”
A: “Everyone else could figure it out, why not you?”

Also, the apologetics for not using Object-Oriented Programming are nothing short of hilarious. Every now and then someone comes by to say, “hey, guys, why don’t we turn our plugins into objects, like in Wordpress?” and the hostile reaction is:

1. If you think we need object-oriented programming, you just don’t understand the architecture of Drupal!
2. Even though it’s not object-oriented, if you think about it, the way Drupal as whole works is OO
3. But that doesn’t matter because OO would be bad
4. Even if it wasn’t bad it was not available in PHP 4 so shut your mouth.

As someone used to the polished surface of Wordpress — which, even in Alpha, does not flood my screen with bizarrely unexplained permissions errors — I find it totally insane that to make something like Views work, I first have to install “Chaos Tools.” It does what the name suggests–it fills my system menu with chaos.

This is inspiring me to do Django instead.

Drupal isn’t perfect but it has it’s great uses. If you can write custom code in RoR then good for you. Many people/organizations/companies can’t afford to hire someone to build, maintain and upgrade a custom site.

In contrast, anyone can learn to build a relatively complex site in Drupal without any previous programming knowledge at all. At the same time, it’s suitable for very large sites (White House, London, Economist, etc.).

Or, they might use Drupal for the same reason you are using WordPress (or why anyone uses WordPress).

But hey…. you will never find the ‘glorious Solution to all your needs’ as a developer… if in your mind is ‘use XXX to everything’ your wrong. Personally i like Drupal because if offers so many things out-the-box and has so many performance tweaks (solr and varnish) integrated that makes my life easier… IN SOME PROJECTS.. other use symfony or even .net or java or ruby, perl, blablablabla

Yes Drupal has a learning curve that is a nightmare
http://www.bedroompublishing.com/2011/01/25/open-source-cms-learning-curve/
its simple. take or leave it.

But its a worth the learn (for me). There are sites and great brands that use it. And personally, yes it takes me a couple of months to learn it, but now i can use it and customize to my needs and works very well.

Just please check http://drupal.org/node/346217.. and decide.
