Open source wars: WordPress vs Drupal vs Joomla
Every IT person, developer, and programmer has an opinion when it comes to the various open source content management systems out there. It often comes down to functionality and ease of use, but even then the lines are often blurred and there is rarely a clear-cut victor. WordPress vs Drupal vs Joomla – which is really the king of open source CMS?
Our friends at Devious Media tackled the question and did a comprehensive breakdown, putting each CMS under a microscope to answer the most important questions to help people make a choice. For us, the choice is clear, but blogging is not the only thing important in the internet world. Other functionality traits need to be considered.

This review is just what I was looking for, and just what I expected based on sites my peers and I have developed. I feel that it’s fairly unbiased, and that this comment box doesn’t miss TOO many keystrokes on my 2.1ghz dual-core.
I love rock climbing!!!!!
ok, great! WordPress is the best cms-bloggin platform, but Durpal and Joomla! are not only blogging-platform. Can i use a wordpress for ecommerce site?! Or use it for a webchat!? Uhm i think not.
Why this comparison? Drupal and Joomla are a cms for other goal, and not for only bloggin.
I suggest a next comparison: Win7/iOS/Fedora15 who is better to develop a free software?!
Forgive me for my errors! =)
You said, “Can i use a wordpress for ecommerce site?! Or use it for a webchat!? Uhm i think not.” May I ask “why not”? A lot of people do, you know…
uh what? I’ve made some great ecomm stores with wordpress, and who still does “webchat”, though there are plenty of IRC plugins for wordpress.
Win7/iOS/Fedora15 who is better to develop a free software?
Ummmm, what? since when does Operating systems have anything to do with developing software? Frameworks have nothing to do with OS (other then if they work on it or not).
We’re taking Google Sites to new heights and I hope to see it here among these mainstays soon. If you thought Google Sites was just an intranet, think again. It perhaps the easiest to use and has great potential. Google has been throwing updates for it every moth and I would expect this Internet giant to dominate the scene when a sort of “Google Sites 2.0” breaks through.
Nice Infographic. I would like to see how DotNetNuke, the largest Microsoft stack open source CMS also compares. My guess is somewhere between Joomla and Drupal KPI wise.
