I think drupal is cleverly and elegantly designed, given two assumptions:
1. We can only use the LAMP stack. (perhaps with other operating sytems instead of GNU/Linux, but you get the idea).
2. We can't use php's object and class system, we have to create our own using arrays.
Given those, you'd be hard pressed to build a better CMS.
The problem is that I don't see any reason to start with those two assumptions, particularly given advances in web development in the past 5 years.

You can use Postgres (and Drupal 7's ORM abstracts the data model, opening up the possibility of nosql). The only thing you're really stuck with is PHP.
