Publisher's Description
From Drupal:
Drupal is an open-source platform and content-management system for building dynamic Web sites. It offers a broad range of features and services including user administration, publishing work flow, discussion capabilities, news aggregation, metadata functionalities using controlled vocabularies, and XML publishing for content-sharing purposes. Equipped with a powerful blend of features and configurability, Drupal can support a diverse range of Web projects ranging from personal Weblogs to large community-driven sites.
As an open-source software project maintained and developed by a community, Drupal is free to download and use. Version 5.0 adds retooled administration pages, a Web-based installer, the jQuery JavaScript library, a new core theme, more logging reports, performance tuning, and many other new features. Drupal is platform-independent and only requires a Web server that can execute PHP scripts.

"Too complex for me"
Version: Drupal 5.0
Pros
It's feature rich and for a personal blog it's the best out there.
Cons
If you want to publish a 'normal' corporate website to your own specific design it just doesn't have the flexibility. For this you can't beat either Joomla or Yendo.
Summary
Good for blogging, bad for everything else

"Powerful"
Version: Drupal 5.0
Pros
Very powerful software for team and (software) project management. I use Organic Groups Sites and Hubs as well as the Projects modules to manage my development teams' work.
Cons
Lack of module compatibility layer (a layer that allows modules for old versions to work with the new ones).

"Simplicity, speed, secure yet powerful- and best of all: free. I love it!"
Version: Drupal 5.0
Pros
I have been using Drupal for about 6 months now. At first I was a little weary due to the lack of themes. It seemed that you could always pick a site running Drupal out of the crowd. Well through my journey I have learned it is quite the contrary.
I first started out with Mambo/Joomla. It is a pretty nice CMS and it seemed to have everything I needed. I created a couple custom templates, and spent hours searching through the colossal amounts of pre-made templates. I built a site with it and explored all of it's capabilities for every feature I required.
At this point I was comfortable with Joomla. There was something about it though that made me feel like I was limited, like something was holding me back. Not sure what it is, but after discovering Drupal the difference is like night and day.
No need to try to code your own CMS if you just want something simple. I was headed in that direction but changed my mind when I fell upon Drupal. It is scalable for the smallest of site to a corporate site with thousands of users.
I am definitely glad I found Drupal and I now use it for all my personal needs and for my clients. Good work Drupal devs, keep it up! I am very excited to see what Drupal 6 has to bring!
Cons
The Drupal.org website is pretty slow at times, this can be a nag if you are looking for something important. It can set you back a bit, but it is a gateway to all the information you need to use Drupal.

"This CMS is a treat!"
Version: Drupal 5.0
Pros
Very configurable, easy to set up and use. Easy to theme and customize.
Cons
The only con I want to touch on right now is that download.com says this is a Windows only product. It's actually cross-platform and is more at home on *nix than Windows.
