We started with a home grown PHP system that was great, but not too flexible. We quickly abandoned that effort in favor of Drupal, mostly due to some rather complex requirements of a project with the now defunct, HPUGOA (HP User Group Online). Drupal was flexible and powerfu; perfect for the project. But proved too overwhelming when applied to our smaller business (less tech savvy) customers. Today, we are firmly established as an Umbraco developer. The fit is perfect for 90% of our projects. Umbraco is flexible and customizable, yet easy to teach and learn. All that being said, I still like WordPress for the smallest mom & pop businesses. So what's my point? I guess I'm trying to say that having the right tool for the job is more important than championing one tool over another. Most programmer types seem to enjoy arguing about what CMS is “the Best”. I would ask: “The best for what purpose?” My company has been in the content managment marketplace for about 10 years now.
