I think you make a good point--one that business types often overlook. Its extremely daunting to begin duct taping a startup together though. Your options are never optimal. I've spent nearly 2 years (on and off) banging and hammering on Drupal to try and make it do something non-trivial. I'm proud of what I've been able to do, but I can't help but think what I could be capable of if I devoted that time to learning to program the right way. With that being said, I would highly recommend Drupal as a reasonable way for a non-technical type to piece something together. The community that supports the project is pretty top notch IMO.
