Couple of other problems with Drupal that haven't been mentioned:
* massive numbers of database queries to build a page (i think 30+ for a relatively boring stock homepage). (Yes, there are cacheing modules - but they only work for anon users. If you are logged in as an admin it feels sluggish.)
* You need to put PHP code in the DB (!) for example, if you only want a search box on some pages. (This is wrong for many reasons, but my fave is that if you make a syntax error, or your whole site will break!)
- aasarava 17y agoActually, you can exclude blocks, like the search box, by URL pretty easily in the Drupal admin panel. Wildcards are excepted too. No need to use PHP unless you have some very complicated rules on when to show certain blocks to certain users. And even then, if you make a syntax error in any code in any CMS -- whether it's stored in the DB or not -- your site's gonna break in some way.
