We've been looking around for a while and two of the very few systems that look like they could be worth spending more time with are ModX and Drupal. The first thing I would like to get some input on is how good ModX and Drupal really are. How easy (or hard) are ModX and Drupal to develop for?

I won't actually be unplugging my computer all the time, but I will not be checking my email regularly (i.e. don't expect a response if you send me email) and I will try hard to avoid reading any blogs or keeping up with what's new in the world of web design and development.

I hope that this new focus on web standards and interoperability also means cleaning up the horrible, stinking, inaccessible piles of code that are regurgitated by products like MOSS and Visual Studio. I also hope that it means educating Visual Studio cowboys to use and understand web standards.
