Great list. I've been theming with Drupal for a while now, I should take a look at what wordpress has to offer now that I see a few examples of its capabilities.
I've been using Drupal for about 6 months now (see my link below) and I've just been in awe at the location and mapping abilities with a simple module add-on. Very cool!
Crooks and Liars, one of the highest trafficked progressive political blogs converts to Drupal, you can read from Crooks and Liars: Time for a Change or Case study: Crooksandliars.com
Wow. Some mind blowing examples of what you can do. I wonder how the big sites manage the updates... and/or security patches.
I am looking at developing my first CMS site with Joomla. Is there a big reason why one would want to use Drupal over Joomla?
Joomla is a lot less secure and can get hacked much easier. Besides that they can do almost all the same stuff, Joomla may have more/better free templates.
I am about to port a site to Drupal. I love its functionality and it with a wysiwyg editor, it is easy for non-technical people to edit as well. Nice list.
