<div class="moz-cite-prefix">That article is comparing apples to
oranges. Download Yii and all you got is a framework. You actually
have to code what you want it to do. Of course you then code it to
do what you want and just what you want. You don't even have to
worry about plugins/modules if you don't want to - just put all
the features in the code.<br>
<br>
Now take Drupal. Any one can pretty much install it, especially
with shared hosting installers like Fantastico. With it and the
contributed modules out there, you can pretty much make any site
you want, rather it being a YouTube clone or the next social
networking site. You can do this without touching any code if you
want.<br>
<br>
Basically if someone wanting a site has the talent and money, then
always go for a custom solution. Hell, even better - no framework
at all. Do it all from scratch. The thing is most people don't
have that kind of money or time and talent around, so they will go
with a prebuilt solution instead.<br>
<br>
(Think of it as buying a house. I can buy one already built but it
won't have everything I want or be as efficient, or I can design
and build my own from scratch. The later takes a lot more time and
costs a lot more money.)<br>

Would anyone like to comment? I have to little experience with
Drupal to venture any comments. The article is 2 years old. Have
things changed in the meantime? <br clear="all">
