- Drupal is easy to extend with additional functionality.
- Drupal has add-on modules available for most tasks.
- Drupal is easy to customize.
- New versions of Drupal are not backwards compatible with older versions.
- Uses AJAX rather than COMET, so response can be slow.
- Some customization requires writing PHP functions.
- 80% of my work is on Drupal.

Yes - I resolve most of the bugs I report myself.
One of the modules I used was not being updated to work with the latest version of Drupal. I applied for and received a developer account. When necessary, I have become a maintainer for the modules I need to use.
