Cory,
This is why I decided to take a very close look at drupal.
If you want a way to know more about Drupal, so you can decide for yourself, check out www.lynda.com. This is where I found Drupal, and I was hooked. They have 3 video training courses on Drupal. Drupal 6 Essential Traininghttp://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourseNoTabs.aspx?lpk2=620is the first one. After watching it, you should be able to decide if Drupal is for you, and if you want to build the site yourself.
I'll definitely do this. I'm used to building my own tools and having control over the tools I use. Most of my writing is done with LaTeX in emacs, vector graphics are written with PSTricks, and I much prefer the CLI to GUIs. While I'm not a fan of web-based apps I know that's where many are headed so I use them, too.
Thanks,
Rich
