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.
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.
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.
(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.)

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?
