The CMS battle will never end.  We CMS designers and programmers will always talk about which format to go for, Joomla or Drupal, I know there are others out there but we know Joomla and Drupal are the favorites.

If you as a designer or a programmer after drilling down and using both, it really boils down to client needs.  It’s what you want out of it, both platforms are strong in there own way.

I have to give it up to Joomla because just randomly browsing around the internet I have come across various websites that use there platform and I have to tell you that they are impressive and just as powerful as any heavily coded website.  User Interface (UI) can always be enjoyable no matter what platform you use in the back-end side.

It again boils down to what your client needs and how you want to give the output and of course how much your client is willing to spend.

I am sure the rise of Joomla website backed platforms will continue to rise.
