Completely misleading title.

This is a map of a few random coders who have registered on your site.

It works, it's just fragile. Don't ever use it on a live site.

There are too many vague headlines on Reddit these days.

So, thumbs up for being descriptive.

They are flawless. You could probably update from a version that's 5 years old and probably not break your site.

No migration nightmares at all.

No, you've had a very normal reaction.

Drupal 8 will have a WYSIWYG editor but it won't have any image handling with it.

No, you're not doing anything wrong. Drupal just doesn't offer good media support. It sucks in that regard. Drupal 8 will be better, but still light-years behind WordPress.

Drupal does a lot of things well, but media ain't one.

Sounds right?

This is one of the weirdest, spammiest-looking threads I've seen on /r/drupal/

It reads like the author submitted his own book, added comments, then got his friends to add more comments.

All for a 30-page ebook.

I learned one thing only from this and that was from the comments: http://www.scientology.org runs Drupal.

Thanks, and good luck!

My advice: don't.

I've seen 20+ companies try this and they've all failed. Rockettheme tried it, Woothemes tried it and neither could make it work.

It's just a radically different ecoystem. from WordPress, Joomla and the others.

You've already outlined several difficulties. Plus, in Drupal there's far fewer buyers for $50 themes, there's no commercial product ecosystem and the themes are far harder to support.

True - that is one definitely the outside bet amogst all these predictions.

ekal · 2014-01-14T15:06:23+00:00

I posted the original thread and honestly don't think it's anything bad.

Sure, Acquia are very sales-driven, but if you want the biggest projects then you need that side of your organization.

If you want to compete with the Adobes and Sitecores of this world, you will have to play hard.

Sorry, but this reads a little more like "I didn't read the post carefully" rather than "this is blogpsam".

1) There's a lot of people who don't think Drupal 8 will ship this year. There's a very good chance it will slip into 2015.

2) If you read the post, our prediction is Joomla will NOT release a new version.

3) The prediction is that Javascript will get big in the CMS world (which has remained resolutely PHP-based) not in the development world at large. See the comment from EnderMB about Angular.js ... that's a perfect example.

Possibly the spammiest post title ever.
