I've been trying to find a flexible, easy-to-use CMS and website development platform for the past couple of years. Don't know how I missed Drupal but I'm sure glad I found it.
It's so easy to theme, to add or pare away functionality, to enter/edit content, to build menus... I can't say enough good things about this product.
I'm in the process of switching nearly all of my sites to Drupal, even though they serve different purposes. Drupal is good enough to handle everything from brochure-ware to full blown communities. It's the only CMS I know of that is this simple for a designer yet includes so many features, including a shopping cart.
I've tried and/or am replacing Postnuke, MDPro, ezPublish, eNvolution, Xoops, Mambo, phpWebSite, and Xaraya.
Plus it's TINY! I don't know how the developers did it but they deserve a big thank you!

I've used Drupal for some time and I love it. However, it requires a lot of customizing and you're probably better off using Mambo if you need a lot of help.
The biggest problem with Drupal is that the developers don't work to make it compatible with any other systems, preferring, instead, to create everything within Drupal. While they do a truly awesome job, it's asking too much of them to create a single standalone CMS that can do everything possible by itself.
The bottom-line is that I use Drupal when I need a flexible and high-traffic website, but I'll normally use others for personal websites, because they are easier to use for specific tasks.

I have tried them all it seems and I think I may finally settle on Drupal for my personal site. I have been looking for something between a blog and a portal, Drupal seems to be clean, well balanced, efficient, and highly scaleable. No installation script is included as of v4.5.2 but its fairly easy to setup. I like it.

After trying several Content Management Systems I have finally chosen Drupal for my website, it has lots of features like forums, blog, etc.

I take it all back (see comment below). Drupal is now much more designer-friendly, thanks to phptemplate and drupaldocs.org.

As a designer, I still feel encumbered by Drupal after messing with it for 15+ hours. By now I'd like to feel like I can control the design of my site, but I'm still in legend-of-zelda mode, pushing various boulders aside to try to reveal the hidden secrets of this software. Some users on their forums swear you need not feel encumbered as a designer with this software, but I'm not there as of yet. I still feel like I'm being asked to administer my way to a site design. Meanwhile: The feature set is nice and the permissions/roles system is great. Code is stable. Pages are pretty fast.

shockingly easy to setup and extremely versatile. in debian don't forget to install the php4-mysql package.

I was amazed with drupal. I've used and helped develop a few CMS's, but after going through the sourcecode for drupal and the inserted modules, i was very pleased and also impressed at the code. it was a simple process to install, and once i was in it just kept growing. it might be difficult to theme if you don't know css. fair warning.

Drupal is really nice. I was able to create a new site without any major problems. There are rumors on the Internets that drupal is going to take over the world. Go Drupal!

Drupal is an excellent content management system that is easy to install and easy to use. I use it on a half dozen sites, and it just works.
The 4.5 release has significant new features, and the administration interface is substantially improved. It has always been easy, but the improvements make it much easier for new Drupal users to administer it with less fuss.
The Category system is Drupal's real strength, and I have no idea why Jason calls adding categories

I tried drupal for a few weeks. I think they went a little overboard with the Categories system (although they call it something else, which adds to the confusion). I thought the Blog support it had was nice. But adding categories is a real pain.
