Well, Drupal is free and you don't pay for it. :)
One of the things that surprised me when I started working with Drupal is the breadth of functionality that's left out of core. No automatic path aliasing? No subscribing to a post? Wait, I can't add more fields to my content types??? For a "Content Management System", Drupal core is _severely_ lacking in features. The logical end is that modules now have inflated importance to Drupal, because you (basically) can't do jack without at least some of them. This creates an odd disparity: the concept of "modules" refers to both one-off, unimportant, unfinished modules, AND to cck/views/pathauto, three modules you basically can't build a site without. -D
