Is 80% good enough for you?

I've worked with many different CMS systems for the web.  I spent a lot of time in Dotnenuke and have worked with Typo3, Joomla, Mambo, Wordpress and many others.  I like to descibe them as 80% solutions.  Meaning it is really easy to make an "80%" great site in a very short amount of time.  The problem comes when you try to do something really amazing.  It is incredibly hard if not impossible.

Why Drupal

I like many people have found myself hunting around for a web CMS.  Like many people I found CMS Matrix which scared me half to dealth.  With that many choices out there how can you possibly choose?  After reading tons of articles, blog posts and forums I came down to trying out Joomla and Worpress.
