I left the Drupal world right before Drupal 7 was introduced. While there were many reasons for this, the speed and insane db structure (and resulting queries) were a big cause of my switch. Another big issue was the fact that while Drush and the Features module made it easier to avoid having to click around in the admin interface, I still had to configure too much through the Drupal back-end UI (with much of this configuration stored in the db, which I understand in context but still really hate).<p>Have these issues been resolved in later versions? Because there was a lot about Drupal that I <i>did</i> like.
