I've been converting a homemade CMS to Drupal site over the past few days. Saw your post on the Drupal forum too. Some stuff I've noted:
Drupal is quick
The footprint is small by comparison to many of the other CMS options
I like the way the themes are seperated from the code - easy to make visual changes and still maintain an easy path for upgrades
I like the simplicity of adding/removing modules - anyone who's worked osCommerce will appreciate this
I like the relatively easy SEO'd paths - modules like pathauto make this easier
I haven't found a good solution for completing the breadcrumbs. The path part is easy but the last piece of the breadcrumb (the file name you're looking at) is missing from the breadcrumb solutions I've found
I like the flexibility to manage blocks by path, by user type, or by content type - adds a lot of control to the content
I like that I create and manage users and what they view based on roles - much better system than PHPNuke, Typepad and the other CMS systems I've played with
All in all I'm quite impressed with how well built the package is. I talking with ergophobe about this package, he noted that the code is about 1 generation from being at it's best. But while there's room for improvement - what's there now is pretty good.
