Joomla! is a very popular open source content management system (CMS) with some great strengths. However, whilst an enormous amount of effort is being made to include enterprise-class features (like an ACL model that isn’t insane), there is an increasing tendency for businesses and other professional organisations to go for Drupal. The latter is certainly more elegant in its architecture but also has some draw backs. Drupal was conceived as a CMS for community building not for more run-of-the-mill ‘brochureware’ sites.
