title: What are some of Drupal's shortcomings?
body: <p>Drupal is very much a "Do Everything" CMS. There are modules that allow you to add almost any functionality, which is great. However, it feels like a lot of the features (v5 and v6) seem scattered around and unintuitive for the user. As a developer, I'm left with the feeling of having patched a site together using bubble gum and string.</p>
  
  <p>For example, to add text to the default search box (that disappears when clicked), you have to either add some jQuery code OR override the theme. I've also found the menu system more complicated than it should be.</p>
  
  <p>Am I the only one with this opinion? What things (if any) would you change about Drupal's core? </p>
