I've sent off to the admin of my main Drupal user site, the original  
points quoted below. I've asked him to comment on them, if he has  
time. I know this site:

BBEdit Gems: http://bbeditgems.com/

which I use, and to which I contribute almost daily, is extremely  
easy to use, and he said at the time, very easy to set up. I know he  
did look around a lot, and compare various CMS, and thus choose Drupal.

My husband did this again recently, for a very different purpose, and  
again, concluded that Drupal was the best option in his opinion. (Not  
much gets past him: I know; I do my best to keep him on his toes :D ).

Hopefully Jonathon (my BBEdit Gems admin.) will have time to supply  
some comparative info.
