			<description><![CDATA[When I need to build an app that satisfies MOST of my clients then it is usually WordPress as a CMS. WordPress covers the small to medium projects. While I dislike the procedural framework, WP is the most widely installed platform by many factors over Joomla and Drupal. If I need to build complex web application, I use Rails. Who needs CCK kits when you can create models with proper relations and rich validations? I don't know why large projects with complex requirements waste their efforts in a framework like Drupal. You end up fighting the framework to build what your clients want.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[(sorry for double post) @Ben145: Sorry mate, but I think it' not fair that since you couldn't understand (or simply don't like) Drupal's framework, you end up stating that I, as a drupal user, am not a savvy developer. Actually I'm a pro since years (not meaning that I'm cool in what I do, but that coding is my profession) and I think the very best about Drupal's architecture. Keep your own mind if you want. I coded for both system and I'm happy with the time spent over Drupal. :-)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Kolobo: then why not picking up Drupal, since it has all you need and much more? Once learned you'll be able to do pretty all you want. Anycase, I think it's unfair to spam advs in comments. This is the way Joomla "community" goes on: everybody for themselves, trying to make their product win. Drupalistas are much more fair with each others: everybody try to build over other works and if two extensions do the same thing, it's pretty sure that the two code maintainers will join to get the best out of them. I really think this is the real strength behind Drupal: arguing is not an habit, everybody knows what's going on and drupalistas tend to help each other. Not that Drupal is a perfect system, obviously, but as a user AND a developer, I came from Joomla to Drupal and I would never turn back. :-) Peace! :-)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There is always a trade-off between simplicity and flexibility. The simpler something is, the less flexible it is. If you need to create sites which are more complex then you need the flexibility of Drupal. If you don't, then you suit the simplicity of Joomla. (these are relative terms)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Even though as a developer I can't stand either of them, I'd have to go for Joomla as I really have no idea* who Drupal is for. Drupal is far too complex for most clients to use properly and is in my experience slower and frankly painful to develop with, so why any developer would choose it over a framewrok is also a mystery. Joomla, is a least understandable (although nowhere near as accessable as Wordpress) for non-technical people, hence it is tha tbettter system. * - I actually do know who Drupal is for two small groups: 1 - People who run sites that are technically minded yet can't programme. 2 - People that call themselves developers, can barely programme, so using somethign like Drupal is their only option.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think the only winner is the end-user to be able to have choices. As the post title says, it's all about "Which is right for you?" In the past, VirtueMart was right for our customers that needed a quick, cheap shop. For us Ubercart is right bc it's got a million more options and granular control.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Looking at the interest (searches in Google) Joomla and VirtueMart strongly dominate compared to Drupal and Ubercart. I guess the user friendliness just wins over as it allows a much faster start. In short: I would bet my money that Joomla will win on the long run. Ease of start always beats complex features on the long run in the open market.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Early in 2009 I read this article (and others), and eventually I choose Joomla as the CMS that I offer clients. I have no regrets. But as I monitor some job boards, I see many requests for experience with Drupal and not much mention of Joomla. These posts are coming for projects with sizable teams, so I assume their development processes are heavy-not-agile and their end project is large and somewhat complex. So I'm trying to interpret why these posts are focused on Drupal much more than Joomla. Could it be that Drupal is more robust for large-scale projects? ...or... Could it be that the decision makers of these larger projects are now biased based upon their choice of Drupal and perception of web development from a few years ago? My questions are sincere -- not intended to take a jab at any point-of-view. Does anyone have any insight into this? Mostly... Is there a reason to choose Drupal over Joomla for larger projects that require a team to develop?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Joomla's tableless with many templates, and the core will be in 1.6. One of Drupal 7's main updates is addressing the User Interface and workflow. So both CMS's are addressing problem areas, which is a very good thing. It's been said over and over, and I agree with the fact that: WordPress is easiest to learn and most simple Joomla is moderate to learn and in the middle of complexity Drupal is tough to learn and most complex]]></description>
