I have read tons > of articles that compare Drupal and WordPress, but I still wasn't swayed > to either side. > I know that they are both good, both do the job well, and both have > advantages and disadvantages. For example, Drupal has a steeper learning > curve, but you get more control over the website. > Most of Drupal vs WordPress articles are "emotionally" driven and it > reminds me of the PC vs Apple flame war. I was trying to exclude these as > much as I could but it's hard. > > Is there any website/article/benchmark/test/experiment/whatever I can > trust to be unbiased? I need a website that measures the CMS' through > facts, not heated, emotional arguments. In which cases is it better to use > Drupal over WordPress (and vice-versa)? I know the first two words are > going to be "it depends", but let's talk about it in general (for small > basic websites, more complex websites, easy customization, etc). > > I found this on one page: "... Drupal was built as a fine-grained > multi-role system where you can assign different permissions to different > roles to do different things (e.g. content editor, content reviewer, > member, etc.) and assign users to these roles..." Does that mean that > WordPress can't do that?
