Hey Webmaster, I'm a Joomla founder so I should be as biased as they come. My only complaint about Drupal is folks calling it a framework, which it is not.
That aside, Drupal is experiencing huge growth and many developers are taking advantage of it as their base platform for developing sites. A strength is community sites, where Drupal's flexibility really shines. I suspect this person you are referring to (the offending Tweeter, er, Twit) is just a troll starting up another tired round of vi-vs-emacs, linux-vs-osx, and so on... Drupal is great, and to be blunt, ALL current frameworks, platforms and languages have reached a level of maturity that you choose what fits the way you like to think, and like to code. -- Mitch On Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 12:12 AM, <webmas...@vbplusme.com> wrote: > Hello NYPHP, > > I have seen a few posts here about DRUPAL and decided to take a look > at it to see if it might be useful for some of my projects. > > I noticed a few days ago that someone did a Twitter post and said that > DRUPAL is what you use when you are a "failed" programmer.
