I’ve been writing Drupal code as my day job since 2009, and honestly I think it’s fabulous. It serves a narrow niche very well. People try to use it outside that niche, and they suffer. I feel for them. It’s not the right tool for everyone. You really have to be willing (and have the time and resources) to learn the entire framework, and figure out the Drupal way to do whatever it is you’re trying to do. The learning curve is indeed quite considerable. But it is a formidable toolkit, once you’ve learned it, and you can do really great work with it, really quickly.
