Koki,
Yes, I worked with Drupal for a couple of months during the late 1.x and
early 2.x days. The CMS is pretty powerful and the community was pretty
helpful as well but when they moved from 1.x to 2 they broke a lot of
backwards compatibility and the develops said "we develop it so we can break
compatibility if we want and we probably will from x.0 to x.0 release."
That rubbed me the wrong way so I dropped Drupal and looked at other CMS's
like Joomla and XOOPS. I haven't worked with them too much and the website
I deal with on a daily basis I built from the ground up. It isn't very
powerful but it gets the job done where I work.
Urias, don't you use Joomla over at TeamHaiku? How has that worked out for
you?
