Comments on: RIP Drupal, you lose. http://www.supersatellite.com/2008/05/21/rip-drupal-you-lose/ Blogging in a new web Sat, 24 Jul 2010 04:20:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Shrop http://www.supersatellite.com/2008/05/21/rip-drupal-you-lose/comment-page-1/#comment-639 Shrop Mon, 26 May 2008 17:28:58 +0000 http://www.supersatellite.com/?p=291#comment-639 Michael, This is a great blog article. I think it fairly shows your user experience. As you know, I am a huge Drupal fan, but I don't always recommend Drupal. I usually recommend WP for users who just want a blog. The only reason I run Drupal on my blog is because I know it and didn't want to get into WP too deep :) Thanks, Shrop Michael,

However, I am considering moving some freelance clients to an open source CMS eventually instead of the homegrown tools I've cobbled together in php, but Plone is not really practical for these clients unless it becomes more ubiquitous on the hosting front.

However, I am considering moving some freelance clients to an open source CMS (Content Management System) eventually instead of the homegrown tools I’ve cobbled together in php, but Plone is not really practical for these clients unless it becomes more ubiquitous on the hosting front.

I did have other ideas in mind that would have leveraged it better, but I simply don’t have the time to see those come to fruition. As a result, your analogy feels appropriate. However, while WP is certainly not as robust as Drupal, I agree with other opinions I’ve read that are slowly leaning towards WP becoming much more than simple blog software. And as far as the more mundane, simple tasks go, I think WP beats Drupal hands down. That’s not a slight to Drupal, it just isn’t really designed with simple in mind.

If something as basic as WP can suit your needs, I think Drupal was a bit of a sledgehammer.
