A couple of truths about drupal:
1. Drupal as a CMS NEEDS and idiot proof content editing box. And don't tell me to use tinyMCE. We need a good one. So many times, a page has tanked because of misunderstood tags. The problem with tinyMCE or FCK is that you really can't have native php or html code in your body text because the text editor will screw it up.

2. Drupal needs javascript for a lot of its good stuff.

3. Drupal is very fun, but I'm a little worried that I'm missing out on some of the really advanced stuff. but that is why I am hacking away at this site.
