Let me explain why I wrote this article more than a decade ago. Drupal was really weird CMS back then. I think I was using Drupal 5 or 6. I canßt remember. But I was so frustrated because of some features that were lacking. On the other hand Wordpress and even Joomla looked better.
But this was more than a decade ago. Today Drupal 9 is our CMS of choice....It slowly grew and become a working horse in webdesign. It is much more advanced and practical than any other CMS out there. Drupal fixed all those issues of course..it is the best CMS out there in my opinion. It is also not easy to use.
So read the following article with that in mind....
All these issues described below are for Drupal 6 version, which is more than 10 years ago. Keep that in mind. All issues are fixed and Drupal 9 is the best CMS out there!
It does not send you an email when somebody responds to your topic in the Drupal forum - Hello it is the 21st Century and still, we have to live with mistakes like that. I mean almost every freaking forum sends you automatic notifications when you get a reply to your forum topic, almost every forum. But not freaking drupal. Drupal sleeps comfortably in its bed, smokes some weed, and thinks of you people. I do not care. Why is there such promotion of Drupal, such hype, seminars, the core team is blabbering all over the internet that Drupal is the best CMS there is? Well, I tell you it is not and it will never be.
Even though if part of MTV uses Drupal it still sucks big time. Probably those guys are considering each minute to switch to another system.
Each blog post does not have an intro. You have to add a special code to create a teaser. Every freaking blog, cms has that option, but Drupal again lies in bed, drinking beer and smoking some weed, and says Fuck you all. Why is it so hard to add a small button to put an article separator as WordPress and Joomla have? Does Drupal really like to piss people off? I mean it is probably an easy task but the core team Drupal morons dont think that that is necessary. So they added a simple option to trim each of the articles and to set the trim for a custom number of words. This is barbaric!!!!! How dare you. Usually, people have static content not only blog posts that require the whole article to be displayed not only the intro. And if you set a teaser to kick in after a custom number of characters, you will get a trimmed front-page article and it will look silly.
Another thing in Drupal that is bothering me is that there is a link at the bottom of each blog post that is linking to www.domain.com/blog/1 and has the same content as www.domain.com/blog . Even penguins in the north pole are talking about duplicate content and still, Drupal morons put a link to a duplicate page under each of the blog posts.
My conclusion. I am almost done with drupal. There is no way we will see reasonable work by these guys, They are stubborn, lazy, stupid, and have no fucking idea about SEO and proper website optimization for search engines.
Why, o why isn't there a perfect CMS in the world. Each of them has flaws. WordPress is really good, but at the same time too simple, Joomla is getting there but still is not perfect. And Drupal, well I am looking for my shovel to bury that crappy CMS in the deepest hole on the earth. Drupal you have disappointed me big time.
