And my point is not to be taken as "just a complaint", for it is not. It's a real barrier, most especially, to keeping things up to date and implementing new features as they become recommended.

You are making these changes because you can. You skills help you to run better sites. But even if you had not the skills you yould still use Drupal. Sure, your sites would lack a feature here and there, but that's not the point. The point is that Drupal "out of the box" works for a lot of people and you don't need to know PHP to set up a site which already has a lot of features.
I am not complaining. I am saying two things: 1) Drupal is very powerfull (mostly becuase of its architecture) for modificated websites. There is absolutely no way that I could hack Joomja, or Nuke in such an easy way (I used both a lot, so its not just a matter of knowing one app better). Which is was my reason for moving to Drupal. 2) Becuase Drupal has this power, and this great "feature", we have a real gem at hand! We should not forget that a lot of people might use Drupal for this very reason too. Focussing only on end-user improvements, is IMO bad. That is my main point. Dries points out in several blog posts and mailinglists mails that the low "hop on level" is a good thing in Drupal. I wanted to add to his points the fact that it is easy to hack Drupal. Hacking your stuff is not bad. Because IMO getting a good site up n Running you simply cannot do without it. From the Lets keep Drupal Hack Friendly dept. Bèr
