Drupal sucks less
All content management systems suck, Drupal just happens to suck less. -- Boris Mann at DrupalCON Amsterdam, August 2005.
Almost a year later, I still think that Boris nailed it. We have a long way to go if we want to make it easy for (non-technical) people to create and maintain advanced websites.
The problem as always is "but where to start?". :)

July 7, 2006 - 01:57Perhaps a more eloquent way to put it would be, "more so than any other open source CMS, 9 times out of 10, the cost of implementing Drupal is less than the cost of sticking to a legacy system."
Okay... so my version had all the eloquence of an economics textbook, but with the charm of a vacuum salesman pitch. Still, it doesn't rely on meaingless words for bad (e.g. suck). Good stuff for when dealing with them' conservative verticals.
July 7, 2006 - 07:09That might be true, but doesn't have the same sales pitch as the other onliner. Though the "sucks less" is a bit too Beavis & Butthead for me.
"Heee heee, he said Drupal! Heee heee." (Cornholio high on too much drupals of coffee.)
