Even I completely agree with you people. I don't have anything like Drupal Vs. Moodle. While one is a completely generic solution and provides a tool box and basic building material for making something, Moodle is a specific solution to Learning Management Task ONLY.
Definitely I don't have any doubts in the capabilities of Drupal over here. It must be possible to implement everything we can do using Moodle (And I am a big fan of Drupal for not being a system geared towards a specific work, that's why I am here ! ), but that needs work-arounds. Where Moodle already presents itself as an out-of-the-box solution for specifically Learning Management Tasks. I am not talking about making an informative website for the college using Moodle. It's just the Learning Management part of it, where teachers can assign student with some work, different kinds of evaluation schemes, quizes etc. and similarly students can join some courses, discuss upon some topics. submit assignments given to them etc.
That's the only reason I am thinking about a solution where Drupal and Moodle are integrated, having a student sign in only once to get authenticated on both the systems, where I could have Moodle as an LMS and Drupal for all other functional requirements.

Totally agree. Nothing can beat the flexibility of Drupal. We too have integrated Drupal and Moodle, Used Drupal for all the content and business rules and ecom, Moodle for rendering SCORM courses and the brilliant Quiz engine.

It depends on what you want to do. Moodle is not a "content management system" (CMS), if one can consider Drupal to be that. Moodle is a "course management system" (unfortunately, the same 3 initials CMS). Moodle handles courses, assignments, grading, etc. Moodle does have some more generic features, but Drupal is far more flexible.
So if you want a content management system, Drupal is the obvious choice. If you want a system that has some more specific educational capabilities, but has some very simple forum and blog features, Moodle might work for you.
I'm working on a bunch of Moodle / Drupal integration stuff right now. We have clients who want to use both together. It's all built on D6, and should be in the drupal.org CVS repository in the next month or two.
On the other hand, one could develop the necessary additional features supported by Moodle right in Drupal. That just hasn't been done yet.
