		flomo on Dec 18, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: PHP: Cracks in the foundation Yeah, but mainly because Drupal is a pile. CCK & custom forms seems about four times more complicated than just doing it in raw PHP. So that is not necessarily taking anything away from the intelligence of the developers, only pointing out they are coding against the abstraction, not the plumbing. Still I'd bet the majority of 'Drupal developers' are just folks who know what the right modules are & some customization tricks.

My anecdotal evidence based on five years of working with the CMS indicates you'd lose that bet, but whatever.
