Glad to see we can keep the "every developer eventually builds a CMS" joke running for another two decades. I still think it's a bad idea to build your own, and I wouldn't put Drupal or Wordpress near the top of the pile for good ones anyway, but I'd still put them above any bespoke CMS I've ever seen.
replyWell, to a CMS developer, a lot of problems look like CMS problems. I know because I used to be paid to think like that. Portfolio website? CMS. Support ticket database? CMS. Newspaper layout system, intranet portal, blog, restaurant menu, identity verification system, etc? Yeah, we built all of it using a CMS. It made a lot of sense at the time because HTML and CSS were young and difficult to wrangle. Today, most of the reasons to build or use a CMS have evaporated.
replyWhat I mean is CMS isn’t required now for most web projects.
