D8 is professional, enterprise level code - too true. Its the result of the entire evolutionary cycle of previous releases, great leadership and really sharp contributors. If that is the kind of work that you want to do (and is what I currently do), then D8 is exciting. I'm looking forward to working with it. I've been hoping for some type of Drupal LTS-type version, though... and D7 is a perfect candidate. I see Backdrop as being an LTS branch - its built on D7, improves it, and maintains it. Drupal 7 is a fantastic system, and a great encapsulation of what Drupal is. Its very cool to see this fork and follow this branch as well. Drupal itself can't continue developing D7 in this way, but Backdrop can. I look forward to working with both. D8 will probably be for larger sites with larger teams. Perhaps not always, but again, we want the right tool for the job. If Backdrop has the chance and the support to achieve its goals, then it will be an amazing complementary system. Either way, we all win. We get a simpler system that can compete with WP, and we get a powerful, professional system that can compete with anything.
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>
