I must admit that the more I play with Drupal the more I’m thinking of switching SEB over to it. Which is saying a lot considering I haven’t even looked at how much of a pain in the ass it’ll be to design templates for, and I think it’ll be a real pain in the ass to design templates for. The other thing that has me hesitating at this point is the fact that any comments left by unregistered visitors will show up as “Anonymous” as opposed to being allowed to specify a name.
But there’s just so many goodies to play with in Drupal that it’s very, very tempting. Threaded comments is a big one as is the ability for users to see everything that’s new since their last visit. Integrated polls would be nice even if I don’t use them that often. The ability for regulars to submit content for consideration is cool. Integrated smilie and BBCode support, the glossary module is cool as hell. Yeah, I’ll admit I’m a sap for the bells and whistles. Still, I’m trying to hold out with MT for a bit longer to see what the plugin authors are able to cook up. But the goodies are so enticing…

I switched most of my sites to Drupal. The issues I’ve run into:
While the permissioning isn’t as fine-grained as PostNuke, it suffices for my uses.
The (contributed) image gallery module is a far cry from Gallery integrated PN, but again it’s not really an issue for me.
The (contributed) weblink module doesn’t seem to sort links in a meaningful way. This is probably straightforward to fix.
What I really really like is the node structure, combined with the taxonomy system.
