I've been developing site with #drupal for nearly 20 years and I continue to hate Views as much as I did when I first encountered it. Not a day goes by when I don't fuck something up with Views because I forgot to toggle from "All displays" to "this display" or vice versa.
What's your thoughts on #Drupal vs #Joomla? I'm looking for a PHP CMS that isn't WordPress based on a potential client's request. Prefer #Symfony based so that's why these 2.
Mostly a brochure site with some normal CMS-y features (gallery, contact form, etc).
I use Drupal and #BackdropCMS for most projects. In my opinion, modern #Drupal is too complicated and difficult to maintain for a simple brochure site.
Backdrop CMS is a fork of Drupal 7 with all the power of Drupal, but without the complexity of modern Drupal. It's easier to maintain and easier to use. But, it's not Symfony.
If you would like to experience the BackdropCMS UI, spin up a sandbox site here (takes 1 minutes and lasts 24 hours).
Automatic updates have been on the agenda for a long time, I'm not certain that it will arrive anytime soon.
On a relatively simple site, automatic updates could be very helpful. But, more complex sites with significant number of contrib modules might not benefit as much, because of unmerged patches in contrib. These unmerged patches are easily handled by composer, but may not be easily available to automatic updates.
IMHO, #Drupal isn't best option for simple sites anymore.
I totally have five things I want to submit for the #Drupal "Pitch-burgh" innovation contest. But I don't think work be happy if I asked for six months off to actually use that money to build those ideas 😅
