The transition from Drupal 6 to 7 was the end of Drupal being a useful scaffold for open ended development: meaning the prior versions offered useful features one could use and then continue forward and build something custom. But Drupal 7 is too encompassing, too database intensive, and simply too complicated. Drupal 8 will have inertia, but will feel like the Titanic for the majority of lessor skilled web site builders who can't develop themselves.
