Interesting, I've never encountered any of the limitations on that list (except multi-site support, which has been increasingly better). The difference I see is that in order to get the full potential of Joomla, you need to be a real PHP hacker who wants to read code and write something new. There are plenty of people who use Joomla as an out-of-the-box (or Apple-style) solution. Those are the people who have the same template as everyone else and never really configure their installation. I have seen some beautiful Joomla sites (like this one for instance) that I could only tell were Joomla because I recognized the URL-type. I might have to play around with Drupal though, if it really has the kind of chops that list says it has.

Back to the topic though, Anyone here have more experience working with the COM class in PHP to do anything besides connect to MS Office applications. I think my trouble may be that I don't have much experience with either COM or the RE API.
