My thought as well. Craft is (inexpensively) commercial but it essentially starts where you’re fighting to get with Drupal for medium-sized projects. And authors like it.
As a CMS with web framework features, it’s also built on top of a model/controller-based framework, using Yii instead of Symfony. Craft has thinned their abstractions over time to more directly match Yii’s methods.
