Comments from those who selected Drupal or DrupalEd as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008

• "I've been using Drupal for a number of years, and find it to be the most flexible platform for the developmen of web applications. It has a steeper learning curve than some of it's competitors, but you're repaid many times over by the speed with which you can develop sophisticated sites. It's what I used to build The eLearning Network website."  Barry Sampson
• "Drupal is a 'quick' way to create websites with lots of features without needing to know any programming (though it does help, as for the other open source apps if you know some php and css). It's getting more features all the time, and again, a helpful user community is out there. Whe I think how many weeks it took to create a website lie Kids on the Net (www.kidsnthenet.com) years ago with Coldfusion and Access, Drupal could do the same thing in a matter of a few days' work" Helen Whitehead
