[drupal-docs] Drupal vs Mambo

[Andrew Hoppin]

Also, the biggest strength of Drupal in many people's view is that 
energy and effectiveness of the community (including the CivicSpace and 
CiviCRM communities as well as the Drupal community)... both on the 
developer and end-user side.   Another platform could have a stronger 
set of technology at the moment in time and still be the inferior 
choice if it didn't have such a strong community supporting the 
platform.   All of which is to say that:   I agree-- talking about 
features will not capture the true value of Drupal.
