One of the big draws for me to Joomla! initially was the community support.  I did not feel alone when I was jumping in.  Joomla! was actually introduced to me by a coworker before it forked from mambo.

Mambo has not had a news post on its site since 2008, well that is what you get for trying to jump ship on open source.

Drupal is a great open source CMS and it is so because of a community that supports it as well as the Joomla! community.  When I meet folks like Alex Fisher, I know that their expertise and decisions are not in vain... and the choice to go with Drupal makes a lot of sense.

If you want to jump into Drupal, there is a user group right around the corner, with experts like Alex waiting to help you take the next step.  For all of us trying to wrangle the octopus of web design, this is invaluable.  Sure you could read his blog , but here you get to ask him a question in person.
