Why Developers Don't Choose Drupal (And What Every Framework Can Learn From It)
Speakers
The disconnect between the powerful capabilities of Drupal and its perceived appeal among new developers is a growing concern within the open-source community. Despite its robust features—such as AI agents, intuitive visual page builders, and the innovative one-click Recipes—many potential users remain unaware of its advantages. This raises critical questions about the barriers that prevent wider adoption and how other frameworks can learn from Drupal's challenges.
Understanding why developers outside the Drupal ecosystem hesitate to engage requires a deep dive into user experience, community outreach, and educational resources. By analyzing these factors, the Drupal community can identify key areas for improvement, ensuring that the platform not only retains its existing user base but also attracts fresh talent eager to leverage its capabilities.
