Drupal has to consider the better it would be.

Wouldn't adding views to core do just that, ie the 8 or so module Earl
mentioned?  re-pasted below.


tracker.module: Just a view.
blog.module: Just a view.
/node front page: Just a view.
/rss.xml: Just a view.
node content admin: Could be a view, with VBO.
user admin: Could be a view, with VBO.
recent comments block: Yep, a view.
recent blog posts block: Yep, a view.
active forum posts? Sho 'nuff.
