I used to love Drupal. I even met Dries Buytaert! But the lack of backwards compatibility between versions constantly meant significant rewrites to code which really wasn't viable for the small business clients I was working with. You really had to put clients on a maintenance plan (so ok from a business stream perspective) if you used that.

And wordpress... man... the number of people who still ask me to update wordpress websites because they can't do it themselves - I'd rather just convert their website to HTML and get rid of the wordpress headache.

They (the client) might break the wordpress itself carelessly, I prefer to version it using composer like Roots Bedrock version.
