I've been developing PHP for many years, and the best frameworks are always the lightweight ones. Good Drupal developers, who actually understand the framework, are rare. If you can hire one, finding a second one of the same level is like winning a lottery. When I worked on a fairly large Drupal website our Drupal devs would disagree on how to develop some pretty straightforward things. It's a huge clusterfuck of a framework.

As a "good drupal developer" (I hope!) I can back this statement up big time. My company has 2 developers who know Drupal fairly well but we need to scale up to 4-6 developers at our skill level. They simply do not exist. We get loads of useless "site builders" applying or your prototypical PHP Developer (seperation of layers? why?). Very, very hard to find competent people who are willing to work with Drupal. If you're just starting out and are shopping for a development platform, stay away from Drupal. You'll take more time to develop your MVP, but in the long run you'll save a huge amount of time and money.
