I've been using Drupal since around version 4.6 and it has come a long way, but the jump from version 6 to 7 was hard to make. The trouble I always had was helping people understand how to use and build with Drupal. Drupal 7 made it more complex as most people struggled to understand entities, features and theme changes. The talk of Drupal 8 actually made me start learning more about WordPress which has been good for me (to stretch my thinking), but I still rely on Drupal 7 for larger projects (colleges, businesses, non-profits, etc). This is why I am so excited about Backdrop. It feels like we can finally have a better foundation for end users and site builders. I do think it would be great to start with a new, responsive theme base. I envision using PureCSS.io as a starting point or Foundation 4. For designers and themers, it would be great if we could have a WordPress-level foundation to help others understand and adopt it. I am certainly open to helping out where I can.
Formatting options
Basic
To post pieces of code, surround them with <code>...</code> tags. For PHP code, you can use <?php ... ?>, which will also color it based on syntax.
Web page addresses and email addresses turn into links automatically, unless the parent tag has the 'nolink' class.
Lines and paragraphs break automatically.
Allowed HTML tags: <a> <em> <strong> <blockquote> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <div> <p> <br> <pre> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <figure> <img> <figcaption> <hr>
