Michelle Murrain , Drupal Developer, OpenIssue. x something, and a developer and user of Drupal since 4.7, I figured that with the release of Drupal 7, this would be a great time to do a comparison of the two. Drupal started out primarily as a web content development platform, with a strength in community features.

WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla are CMS systems that are written in PHP. Most Drupal developers, for instance, don’t spend a whole lot of their time in code unless they work on contributed modules (or contribute patches and such to core.). PHP is one of many programming languages. Plone, for instance is written in Python.
