Yes it is true. Very user unfriendly. You wouldn't know what to do even you have downloaded the software. The lessons are useless because you can't even install it. So, don't expect much from it.

You can do anything you want with design using drupal. It just takes experience.

Sorry guys, with Drupal you cannot set up a website in minutes... unless you do not want any pictures, proper SEO, text editors, videos, music and so on.
True, you can have all these feature in Drupal (through additional modules), but then it will take you quite a while to get there AND you will see your site slowing down like crazy.
Drupal is awful when regarding speed.
Yes, Drupal has many features. Yes, you can do website with Drupal (hopefully!). But it is not user friendly, administration is crap and the technology is... outdated. YES!
Drupal has been a the top for years. This attracted a lot of developers to it, creating a huge community.
Obviously such a big community does a lot of noise claiming that this CMS is the 'best CMS'.
You can read all over the Web how perfect Drupal is. But guys, the World change every day, and the Internet too.
What was excellent 10 years ago is more than outdated today.
New CMS have been developped integrating the best of today's web technology. Drupal simply cannot compare with them.
To name only 2 of them: have a look at MODX or Expression Engine. Both of them have stable release that already are much more powerful than Drupal.
On top of that both of them will bring a new release (in beta stage right now) that will literally blow out Drupal, even the future Drupal 7.x.
By the way the first tests of Drupal 7.x show that this version is even slower than Drupal 6.x. What a pity...

Can't beat this, I keep trying other scripts, but keep coming back to Drupal, I think it's pretty easy to administer to. Drupal is what a cms should be. Just for the record, I have built many Joomla sites for clients, and there is no comparison, if people ask me to suggest an cms, Drupal is my answer without a second thought.

Learning curve is steep for someone who really want to control the software and his environment. Indeed, the fun starts when you understand the logic of the framework. You can start up a fresh site in a matter of minutes, but you're not going to do anything really fancy until you begin using and building your own modules. There are so many modules to do almost anything you might dream about. If you already know a scripting language like PHP, Python or Perl, you're in for some great fun!

Hey guys, I need to know if drupal is satisfactory for a school type site, where the teachers or kids have seperate logins and they can easily add content, upload pics, videos. Bomb proof so they can only select certain aspects like font sizes etc. And be relatively easy to use. I am looking for a drupal expert or CMS expert, email me at rabiddingoltd@gmail.com

Out of the box... Joomla and Drupal.
Those CMS are designed for the "mass" for everybody.
You will never become a software engineer or a real website designer with those toys Joomla and Drupal and others. The real work is behing the scene what you do not see... CODING. Just like D.O.S. is behind Windows operating system.
But we need those 'toys' so everybody can express themselves easily on the web.
Have a nice day.

Drupal is one of the most secure cms, but slow without cache when using more addons.

All these people complaining about steep learning curve, performance, skinnability, quality of the code or advancedness of the technology are probably amateurs and don't know what they are talking about.
Drupal isn't just a CMS, it is a Content Management Framework, which lets you build practically anything by combining some modules e.g. a blog site, a shop, wiki, publishing site with complex workflow, anything! Learn a few modules such as CCK, views, path-auto and learn how to skin it i.e. start with the Zen theme.
So many times, I've needed a new feature and every time there has been a module to do exactly what I want. Steep learning curve? I don't see it, just get the O'Reilly
'Using Drupal Book'.
