Best CMS in my opinion
Billsters- Pros
- So many add-ons when it comes to dashboards and creating charts. Easy to use and has a very clean user interface.
- Cons
- Took me a while to get the hand of the program, there is a lot going on and not everything is intuitive.
- Summary
Responsive feature is best one for Drupal 7.22
thedrupalpeople- Pros
- It comfortable with responsive sites also. You can easily deal with I-phone and other small gadget very nicely.
- Cons
- You have to check all browsers separately.
- Summary
- So Drupal is better for professional sites.
Too complex for me
iversaaro- 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
techprophet- 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!
stealth17- 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.<p>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.<p>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.<p>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.<p>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.
- Summary
This CMS is a treat!
tknospdr- 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.
- Summary
Flexible / Quick on request / Large community
D3bug- Pros
- Very flexible CMS, clean, nice themes, large community. Way to go about this one.
- Cons
- This CMS is not "that" easy to understand at first, as it is using an administration system that is quite different from the usual opensource CMS (e107, php-nuke and alike), using "nodes". However you really do not need to know how coding or so...You have some readme files that will explain everything you need to do.
- Summary
Free, creates a professional layout.
hideyoshi- Pros
- Site building for the lazy ^_^ <p>You can get an excellent looking site without the huge amount of coding.
- Cons
- Some mySQL experience, etc required. <p>Definately not for beginners.
