Drupal vs Joomla

[peach]

I used to swear by Joomla/Mambo but after learning Drupal I got to say its much leaner and more powerful.

Does anyone think the opposite? I would love to debate on that.

 

[joe]

Nah, I agree. Mambo's adminstration interface is slow and bulky.

I also heard Typo3 is raelly good but it seems like a bitch to set up, you need to install it as a server application or something. I'm really curious about how it works though, I've heard it's much more powerful then even drupal

I like Joomla a lot becuase it's really easy esspecialy installation and stuff. I know Drupal got some more features but i find it kinda hard to fine tune it's UI

Everyone I know prefers Drupal.

Got to love those Open source guys so much work for just making the web a better place. Of course they have sponsors but still getting such an great product for free (in a legal way ) is sweet

Joomla is way more popular in general though. It's such a shame, it's only popular thanks to it's kickass marketing campaigns (back in the"mambo" times.

Drupal is marketed really poorly just compare their slogans

"Power in Simplicity"
vs
"Community Plumbing"

I don't need to tell you wich one would appeal more to newbies

 

[SiNJoy]

Power in simplicity! ofcourse , well for school atleast. Dont want to put that much effort in some lousy assignment. Altho i havent really used drupal but i heard joomla was easier.. soo yea...

 

[VinSVT]

Never really tried Mambo... just went with Drupal.

Joomla all the way. Although, I'm a big fan of Wordpress (with plugins).

 

[peach]

My main concern with Joomla was it's duplicate url problems, it messes with your SEF urls and prevents certain components to mess up, such as category tables.

 

[NtodaS]

With CMS's i have trouble with making working menu's with the 1,2,3,4 abreviations. I always mess it up somehow

 

[peach]

Yeah drupal is a bit unclear about menus, this little guide might be useful: http://www.nicklewis.org/a-taxonomy-menu-that-goes-to-11

Wordpress would seem to be the content management system of choice these days.

I hate it when I don't know the definition to buzz words, so I have to ask what are Drupal and Joomla?

I am really starting to like Drupal. I found mambo to be a bit clunky.

Custom all the way (or Drupal).
