When programming you should always consider the make vs buy proposition. When it comes to open source you are often buying something that might not have any cost, which makes it a really good deal. I would say that 7 times out of 10 you are going to find that buying and configuring is going to be the best option. Configuration is often non-trivial but it tends to save a good deal of time when doing some complex, and a CMS is a complex beast. Smaller tasks are different, you might spend more time trying to configure simple blogging software than were you to write your own, it all depends. But once you know how to configure some software it becomes easier the next time. As for a CMS framework. I am for creating frameworks for small problem spaces. I think that the time should be spent on improving a general framework. I am a little tainted by Ruby on Rails at this point, but in rails you will not find a general purpose CMS bundled up nice and pretty like you have with Drupal. But rails does have all the tools that make creating the modules like authentication, admin screens and templating a snap. Dan @ [url=http://www.codetown.org]Code Town[/url]
