@Zaky: I think you missed a very important point before having a dig at various developers in the CakePHP community.
The question was about a client asking for Drupal, so we're not talking about a Mail Server are we? I am 150% certain that everyone in the community would use an established Mail Server rather than developing their own, if that was the remit of the job. However, there is a grey area when a client asks for a Blog. If that's really all they want then yes, Wordpress will do the job brilliantly, but I find it's often the case that they want a few extra modules (Events, Advanced User Management, Basic Email Lists etc.). In this case the client's requirements are clearly better served by a CMS rather than a Wordpress blog integrated into other systems. So to say that anyone asking for a Blog should get Wordpress is not the most clear cut argument either. Also I find it amazing that you think an architect should get involved as an impartial third party on all jobs. What sort of clients are you dealing with on a day to day basis? Most of my clients are Charities or SMEs and they find it difficult to afford a decent developer without the extra cost of employing an architect. Your 2nd last comment takes us full circle, back to the original question, which others have tried to answer before you: "I also saw Joomla developer that recommend Joomla where not suitable." If the original poster believes a bespoke CMS built on the CakePHP framework would be a better fit for his client than the monstrous Drupal (which someone else may be wrongly recommending), how does he go about putting this to the client in a well structured and understandable manner? I think LunarDraco did a great jb of answering this, and it appears to me that you simply dismissed his reply as putting his own needs before the clients. Paul.
