Re: [Nolug] drupal meetup this friday

To me, drupal is very powerful at handling data, but its organization has a lot to be desired, because it's TOO flexible. It makes it impossible for the developers to take care of the software once you install/configure it. Makes upgrading to new versions next to impossible, especially if you use a plugin that doesn't support the new version.

That's funny. I'm a fan of wordpress too. So easy. I set clients up
with it all the time. I'm interested in drupal though...
