Having just gotten through a really big chunk of Drupal development, I think I've come to terms with its pros and cons.

Best: The CSS options give you total control over the display of your content. A single piece of content is usually surrounded by multiple CSS classes or ids with different levels of specificity, separated by spaces. Example: <div class="view view-alert view-id-alert view-display-id-block_2 view-dom-id-1"> This is an example of our simple alerts system which displays notices at the top of the page in a nice pink box.

Update: New theme is in place, not fully baked but test-drivable.

I converted this site into Drupal over my winter break, and over the summer break, I intend to replace this off-the-shelf theme with a custom one. I've already sketched it out, and got a nice educational discount on a copy of Fireworks for home. A new theme probably will not improve my posting frequency, but it will be nicer to look at!
