Thanks - I used Drupal a lot from v4.4-4.7 and then was responsible for the security of a handful of 4.5-4.7 and v6 sites. Neither task endeared me to it, but I know Drupal 8 is going to be pretty different, so seems a good one to look at.

The flexibility's great, but the code hooks felt like a maintainability nightmare ("just what's affecting this now? It's 6 months since I last looked at this module..."). A tradeoff I guess. I was also burned by broken modules (submitted a couple of patches, but it did defeat the point of off-the-shelf features), but Wordpress et al are no better at that either!
