“It’s really the Drupal community and not so much
the software that makes the Drupal project what it
is. So fostering the Drupal community is actually
more important than just managing the code base.”

49. How do you feel
about Drupal?

50. ENGINEERING DIRECTOR
"Drupal worries me. To extend it my team
needs ‘tribal knowledge’ that is useless
outside Drupal. Config is mixed with content
in the database which complicates
deployment, and scalability and security are
big concerns."
51. FRONT-END DEVELOPER
“Getting Drupal 7 to output what I
want is too complicated. I want to
use modern techniques and libraries
and Drupal is getting in the way.”
52. SMALL SITE OWNER
“Building a site in Drupal 7 was painful. No
text editor. How do I add images? How do
I change the home page? I give up.”
