Drupal is a great CMS and I'm impressed by its flexibility and the number of modules available. At first it may seem a little confusing to install but once you are up and running it is truly a very flexible system.

See example over my site here Intelliwebtools - Webmaster tools and resources

We have used Drupal internally for several years now, and have seen solid stability and our staff appreciate the interface. Nice work!

I have used both WordPress and Drupal for small websites for use by non-savvy business owners. Both are easy to use but Drupal is easier for you, the developer. Installation is a snap and local to remote deployment could not be easier. Drupal is like the Apple of CMS's - 'it just works!'

I am working on my first site on Drupal (majority of my sites are on Joomla). I would say I am impressed with Drupal, it is little difficult in beginning for newbie's but is great to work once you get hang of it. I really like their native SEF support.

We built our small swedish non-profit news paper about the environment and health on Drupal:

Drupal have been very cheap, flexible and stable for us. Nothing we have wanted to do have been stopped by Drupal. And we actually had quite a lot of demands from it since we actually are combining a news paper with a reference database with fact sheets, a community and so on... So I can really recommend Drupal!

Drupal is fantastic, it is a great piece of coding which is both a cms and a coding framework. I only have two issues:

1) The documentation, while great in places is also lacking in others and it is sometimes hard to find what you need.

2) The forum community is not very helpful. I regularly ask questions regarding module development and regularly get no answer.

I am a complete newbie and I found Drupal very easy to use. I was able to put my site up (although under constant experimenting and construction) within a few hours. As for Joomla (my other site to be) I have spent days and can't seem to even get a simple google adsense function going. I have installed the adsense mambot but still can't work. Html works readily with Drupal but does not seem to work with Joomla. I do not know which cms can do more but for me, Drupal was easier to install and get running quickly...something that a newbie wants.

I have a radically customized Drupal demo posted (full admin access) at http://drupaldemo.highervisibilitywebsites.com/

It includes 25+ more modules than a stock Drupal install, plus many hours of tweaking and custom themes.

Thank you and enjoy!

I have been patiently trying to install this software for almost a week. Finally did it today only to be stuck at the ill-advised password by e-mail nonsense for admin login. Why is everyone trying to be know-it-all Microsoft? Localhost (for local installation) may not have smtp. The developers tried to be too cute. Let us create normal admin passwords for first time log in. Ditching this for e107.

To the person who mentioned that it has 'some hours of learning curve' -- hours of learning curve for a great CMS is to be expected. You can hide the 'Drupalness' of a site. Look at the Drupal examples here: http://www.drupalsites.net/
Templating Drupal with PHPtemplate and CSS isnot complicated if you know HTML/CSS and can copy/paste PHP snippets.
To the person who said the MySQL performance was bad, that sounds like a problem with your server not with Drupal. You can get assistance with that on http://drupal.org forums.

I tried drupal 4.7 out. The feature-set (including the wealth of 3rd party modules) was great. Where it fell down for me, was dire mysql performance, I could never find the cause of the problem (we run a few Joomla, CMS made simple, YACS! and forums on our server without problem) , so I had to move on, shame as I really liked Drupal - definitely geared up for the site developer rather than end user as far as implementing a site goes.

Drupal is quite powerful but not the easiest package to install and use. It takes some time to go through all the options and understand well how to best use them. After some hours of learning curve, I was able to have a homepage. However, the display of the different menu part was rendered in a special way typically for any Drupal web sites. I try to fix it up but after spending too much time on it, I finally decided to switch to MODX and then Wordpress. Actually I still have only one Web site that is using MODX and MODX looks quite promising.

In spite of Drupal isn't easy to install and have a high learning curve, it is great, stable and powerful CMS system. Drupal have some great features like friendly URL or Threaded comments...
