Drupal is an awesome platform and I've help integrate it into my school's infrastructure for that reason. I see both Wordpress and Drupal as both uniquely advantageous platforms: one for blogging, and the other for everything else. Although, Drupal is just as easy to set up for blogging, but the documentation is/was lacking, and there are a few more hurdles to jump through. I've recently discovered the iPhone app BlogPress which does allow posting to Drupal. @Darren: You’re right, the image is a little one-sided now that I look at it that way, but I did not have the intention.

Ouch! Although I think you're totally correct in that Drupal is overkill for a blog, and Wordpress is perfect for this (and I use it myself for my blog) I'm a huge fan of Drupal (it is extremely flexible, unlike WordPress) and think your image is an unfair representation of these two CMS apps. I don't think this is an apples-to-oranges comparison and could give some people the wrong impression of a great CMS app. While I totally agree with your article, that image hurts! Ouch!
