But compelling is a pretty subjective thing of course.
IMHO: I would generally not encourage new users to be beta users of any product, so don't feel bad about adopting drupal 6 as a newbie right now.

I'm wondering what the compelling improvement is for Drupal 7? I see feature lists, but for me, a newbie, I can't find that list of why Drupal 7 is so much better. Bill

I want to start building a Drupal 7 site but even basic well known and desperately needed modules and themes have the famous "I pledge that this or that will be ready when Drupal 7 is released". Surely, now that the code is locked (Drupalcon June 2010) we can have some of the more well known modules. My basic Drupal 7 was killed by a D7 beta update last week after getting views almost working, had to reinstall the pre update release. I'd love to be working with D7.
