What I want from Drupal.

http://drupal.org –

I've been using Drupal for 6 or 7 weeks now and I think its quite incredible. I first used Linux some ten years ago. It took me a few months to realise that the machine I'd been booting up almost every night had been running a web server all that time. Then I discovered cgi, and then database adapters and I thought 'You can do anything with this!' Then I realised I didn't have the time, or the brains, to build a web application that was as good, or as complex, or secure as I wanted. Since then I've played around with different frameworks (zope - ugghh; ruby on rails - which I liked) and RoR was a favourite for a time. I liked its virtually seamless interaction with the DB. But still, you start only with bare bones with Ruby on Rails, and it would take ages to build anything.
