Poor poor poor, Drupal is not multi-lingual and not UTF-8. Support is horrible, you automatically get a 'it must be you' attitude back. A new 6.x version with no working mods. If you are looking for a multi-lingual script that supports it all Drupal is not it. It lacks a lot on many points and is unstable.
Forget the exploits as well, there are many in Drupal even in the new version. Your site can be taken over without you knowing it. I pointed this out on the Drupal site and got ridiculed over it.
The search functionaility on Drupal is poor as well, its incoherent and its hard for people to find information.
Overall a bloated script and a community that doesn't apreciate feedback.

Drupal's development team is very fast.They are already make new core.But themes and plugins development is slowly.Drupal interface is very simple and not user friendly.

I´ve tried many content management systems, but only a few systems really convinced me (e.g. joomla didn´t). I needed for my customers a multilanguage system (without the need of core hacks), which is easy to setup, extendable, has a well documented api, an active support forum and a great amount of (well coded) extensions. Besides, the system should be easy to maintain and not too complex, like joomla. 'Drupal' really does all this for me. Using CCK, views and the formbuilder you don´t need any other modules.

Ive seen guys using all kinds of CMS probably the most famous ones like Joomla, Mambo or phpNuke etc. No offense to them, but Drupal stands out from all of them. Its so so so so so easy. Imagine putting in a block of content in something like Joomla or Mambo on to your theme. How much time and how many steps it takes to do that, but with Drupal its just, get the id of the block make a template file for the block and there you go!!!!

I was banging my head against my computer when I first tried this cms but I found a good tutorial called mastering drupal. If it wasn't for this video tutorial I would have curled up in a little ball.

Very, very nice platform. Very customizable. Very clean and easily understood code. Quick, flexible...what more could you ask for? Also runs very nicely on IIS.
It's rapidly becoming my stock solution for customers.

Drupal can be considered 'the final solution'. It has a learning curve because it is insanely flexible, and this freedom has a price in number and consecuences in choices you take. Not recommended for low-profile, simple sites because there are much more simple, faster solutions, but if you want a system able to last for years, able to grow indefinitely and able to be adapted to most absurd changes you can imagine, this is THE CHOICE.
Also, the amount and quality of extensions and documentation make commertial system feel terribly embarrassed.

Comment: Drupal indeed needs some learning comparing to other CMS like Joomla or Wordpress. systems. but once configured and set - you get lots of horsepower to run your site in the way you want. Highly customizable and and flexible design. Respect to guys who made this concept accessible for all and free.

The best - Bar None. Not the Fastest or the Slickest out of the box and has a very steep learning curve; but once you get past this the power is phenomenal. Built-ins can create and organise content in any way you can think of - all backed up by core commenting, granular ACL, and taxonomy based and free tagging - and all free. The forum is powerful and better than phpBB or SMF (neither of which support basic threading); the only thing missing is an image gallery but great Gallery2 integration solves this.
Look at Drupal6 first and benchmark everything against this - you will regret your decisions in time if you do not.

I agree with the last comment from AainaalyaA, Drupal is simple and easy to use once you get past its internal quirks. The initial learning curve pays off quickly with ease of adding new modules easily and the large community of developers have just about any module already there.

I'm wondering if this cms is fast enough to use for my ongediertebestrijding website... At the moment i'm using a very simple cms, but i think the switch to a SMS like drupal is a smart choise! I'll post my experiences!

Despite the fact that I've been propagating Joomla for the past 5 years plus whilst they were then Mambo, when I re-visited Drupal, and took the challenge to re-learn it, I was very surprised as to how excellent the script was written. I am now propagating Drupal to many NGOs and the one I'm attached with.
Drupal is truly the next generation of an SMS {Social Management System}. Its an excellent choice for social networks, as well as sites for grassroots activists, and NGOs.
Support is amazing - Documentation very well written, and even if one is not a techie / dev, learning scripting becomes pleasant. I've written why Drupal is the better SMS as compared to the many bloated CMS found in the market.
I seriously recommend Drupal to future site owners, as well as webdesigners looking for the most promising and most compact SMS.

Drupal is simply the best free/open source CMS product out there. It just won top honors in Packet Publishing Open Source CMS Awards this year and for good reason. There is literally nothing you can't do with this CMS once you get into it. Weather you want a blogging platform, a static site, a fully interactive community site or something in between, Drupal can do it. Many basic site configurations can be done with the core set of modules, but if that can't do what you want there is almost certainly a contrib module or modules which can do it for you. Drupal has a slightly higher learning curve compared to some other CMS's but thus far I have found nothing that compares to the sheer power and flexibility of Drupal. There are a few contrib modules I'd like to see in the core but adding the ones you want isn't arduous. The only serious deficiency that I can see is the lack of a WYSWYG editor. There are several contrib modules available to choose from but somehow none of them are completely ideal from my standpoint. Installation could be easier, but is hardly arduous. Despite this deficiency I heartily recommend Drupal.
