Drupal comes with a lot of features available out of the box.<\/p>\n\n

It has a flexible system to create complex content models with different content types and fields, rich media management and Views - a visual query builder - to create lists of content.<\/p>\n\n

It has the JSON:API module to expose your content via an API for use by other systems, such as mobile apps.<\/p>\n\n

It has user management, authentication, password resets, roles and permissions.<\/p>\n\n

It has configuration management to easily manage settings and configuration between environments and to provide traceability.<\/p>\n\n

It has the Layout Builder to create page layouts with a drag and drop interface and a built-in WYSIWYG editor for entering rich content.<\/p>\n\n

These are just some of the features I could mention.<\/p>\n\n

Running cloc on Drupal's core<\/code> directory shows 18,289 files and 1,095,970 lines of code.<\/p>\n\n

If you were to get someone to build a CMS from scratch with the same features, how long would that take?<\/p>\n\n

How much would it cost?<\/p>\n\n

This is what you get for free by using free and open source software like Drupal.<\/p>\n\n ", "format": "full_html", "processed": "\n
