CMSFactor - Powered by Drupal

Since this is a site on Content Management, it begs the question, "what content management system do you use?" I picked Drupal. Some of the reasons I felt it would be the best tool for the job (and one case where I don't recommend using Drupal) are:

1. The taxonomy system. Drupal is extremely powerful when setting up categories, sub-categories, vocabularies and anything that has to do with taxonomies. Although stories are currently only sorted by "CMS Type", I could just as easily add "CMS Platform", "Programming language" or any other specific and sort stories by those classifications.
2. Permissions and roles in Drupal are simple and very granular. I really like how easy it is to set up a new role and check a few boxes to give members of that role permission to do as much (or as little) as I feel they should be able to do.
3. Modules and built in functionality. Currently this site is a very simple blog, but later if I want to add forums or other advanced features it's as simple as enabling (or installing) an additional module. Most important modules are bundled, but those that aren't couldn't be much easier to install, you just unzip them in a folder and you're done.

I also picked Drupal because though I'd worked with Drupal before, I hadn't used for one of my own websites and was curious to put it through its paces. So far, I couldn't be happier. The community of developers and users is extremely active, making support a breeze. The default templates look great and are simple to modify. I highly recommend Drupal as a very capable community site CMS. In fact, from my experience, I'd say Drupal is best in breed.

A note if you're not creating a community driven website--one thing that I don't like about Drupal is that it relies on the all-too-common "left and right columns" paradigm. For community-type sites this is fine, but when you're creating a more static site that doesn't necessarily have news posted to it semi-regularly, templating and editing content becomes very tricky. It's possible to get multiple chunks content to display wherever you want them to, but setting it up feels like a hack and knowing where to go to edit the content afterwards isn't intuitive.
