drupalcon

So recently Dries Buytaert (Drupal founder) asked the community "What is Drupal?" and wanted short replies to feature in his DrupalCon keynote at Chicago.
Having spent the last 3 years working with Drupal from version 5 to 6 and now starting to get stuck in with 7 I thought I would have a go at putting down what I think Drupal is. So I put down the following from my experiance as a developer

Drupal is the Swiss army Knife of content management systems. Lots of sharp edges to hurt yourself on but lots of uses and great once you know how to use it.

For those developers that have not worked with Drupal the part about hurting yourself due to the learning curve is sadly true, however I don't regret learning drupal and feel that going through the learning curve was worth it.
I then got an email from Dries asking to feature my quote during his keynote, which was a shock as there have been (at the time of writing this post) 256 comments, so I managed to be one of the lucky few. Sadly I won't be at DrupalCon Chicago however I will be at London later in the year so hope to see some great talks then.
