[TYPO3-english] choosing typo3

[Cameron]

Drupal is superior to Typo3 in almost every way. Typo3 is an exercise in
over-engineered academic CMS concepts, whereas Drupal + CCK + Views = 90% of
any website you would actually end up putting together for a client.
Typoscript is quite literally the most insane thing I have seen in 14 years
of my career in the IT industry.

The other MAJOR issue, and one that seals it completely for me, is that the
community around Drupal is 50 times the size of the Typo3 one. What this
means is that any problem you have, the solution is a Google search away.
The same simply does not apply for Typo3. Any CMS is going to take you a
month or so to really get up to speed with, but with Drupal you'll find the
perfect balance between flexibility and functionality. With Typo3 you'll be
battling this arcane, lunatic bloody Typoscript system and not being able to
find anyone to help. This isn't a *criticism* of the Typo3 community, you
guys are plenty helpful enough, it's just that there's simply not enough of
you.
