Most popular CMS's - Drupal now almost as popular as Joomla

[Paul D. Bain]

Here are some interesting URL's:

A) http://trends.builtwith.com/cms

B)
http://www.google.com/trends/?q=Wordpress,+Joomla,+Drupal,+Alfresco,+blogger

C)
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=Wordpress%2C+Joomla%2C+Drupal%2C+Alfresco%2C+blogger&l=&relative=1

The last URL demonstrates that the demand for IT professionals (by
employers) who know Drupal is growing _much_ faster than the demand for
any other CMS, including Joomla. Very interesting.

Sincerely,
Paul Bain

Maybe because they are all converting to Joomla developers and creating a shortage. ;)

Well, you also have to consider that a demand to pay someone to do something for you can also mean you are unable to do it yourself. i.e., Drupal requires a developer to work with it, where Joomla or WordPress are able to be implemented and administered by a non-developer (usually) with just as much power and quality.

 

We don't pay people to do our laundry unless it is drycleaning, but a drycleaned outfit is not necessarily fancier, more comfortable, or more expensive than a non-drycleaned outfit...it is simply a material that requires paying a professional to work with it because it is temperamental. Thus, you might see more jobs for drycleaners than for people willing to go to your house and do your laundry for you.

Which DOES make people more likely to want to pay for such.
