Drupal is a great framework and much more. IMHO using something like Drupal is a higher order of development and we should be building with the bigger pieces that such a tool provides rather than having religious wars over languages. Sure language X or Y may be more elegant or faster at building feature A but feature A has been built over and over again. So why not build on top of something that already provides commodity feature A and concentrate on building the unique features?
