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

      <p>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>

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

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

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

      <p>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>

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

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

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

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

      <p>This is what you get for free by using free and open source software like Drupal.</p>
