I when I look under the hood at the code running Drupal 7, my head swims-- moreso when I look at that number of function executions happening to generate even the simplest output. I have listened to presentations about Drupal 8 and I have been impressed. That said, I have used CodeIgniter and it has a really high level of system expectations. In the 1990s, when I swapped from Perl to PHP, it was because a Hello World script could be as little as <?php echo "Hello World"; ?>. I have worked out how Drupal 7 works and I am really comfortable with it now. Likely, I will stay with it well after the release of Drupal 8. What I would wish for: a CMS that makes simplicity of code and a small processing footprint as its two biggest considerations. Drupal is not that; Drupal 8 will totally be high maintenance. When a group invents a CMS that is scalable and flexible, Drupal's days will be numbered. I'd love to take on that challenge, but I don't know if the world needs yet another CMS product.
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>
