I had found many critiques of drupal's u are probably the first one who has used drupal and to give a negative comment. With whatever initial forays I had in drupal, I agree with you on all the points. I dont see how drupal saves my time. But then I strongly need a CMS instead of writing everything from scratch. Drupal seems to be a strong contender in that case.

That is true, but the gain does not outweigh the pain in my opinion. Drupal is really a fantastic idea, I just wished they got their act together. It's a real pity because something very much like drupal is badly needed. Their lack of an upgrade path is killing their ability to keep users. People will try it, invest in it and then the problems start. Maybe you'll find that the theme you are using is not actively maintained, maybe the module that you used and now depend on has a bug in it that you are not experienced enough to fix and so on. Slowly the rot sets in. Then a new version of drupal comes out and you try to upgrade. If you do go with drupal be sure you subscribe to their security alerts list, security bugs are found almost daily, if you have a module that has a fault in it and you're not aware of this then you can bet your life you'll be owned. Just like you I'm still searching for that 'perfect CMS', I've definitely learned the hard way that drupal is not it. It could be though, and maybe at some point there will be a change of attitude there. have you looked at this ? http://pinaxproject.com/ http://pinaxproject.com/
