Drupal is widely considered the best free, open source CMS

Drupal is widely considered to be the best free, open source CMS, especially with regard to:

  • Power
  • Flexibility
  • Features

Drupal also has an outstanding community of developers, as well as an outstanding community of users, both of which are important for its development.

For these and other reasons, Drupal won the 2007 Packt award for free, open source CMS.

However, there are many other good CMSs, some of which may be better than Drupal for specific applications, such as Joomla, which is generally considered to be less powerful, but easier to learn, than Drupal. (Joomla has also won the Packt award in other years.)
