Compared to other CMSs. Sure you can custom code with a crud like rails or similar, but that isn't particularly useful for some types of sites that Drupal is well suited for. We have about 1000 static pages that have to be edited passed though a workflow for approval by non tech users, and about 30 or so modules with custom custom code. These things could be done with rails, but we'd still be building it if we tried.
