As someone who has tried maintaining several Drupal sites I certainly 
believe that gitit is easier to maintain in the long run (if perhaps 
requires a bit more work to setup; but that's a matter of opinion and 
from what I've seen gitit seems fairly straight-forward to setup/deploy).

I don't share Trent's belief that CMSes are necessarily bad, but I do 
have an opinion that all PHP CMSes are awful. (Partly because PHP is an 
awfully flawed language to begin with...) I got fed up babying "easy" 
PHP scripts, much less complicated "CMS" products, a few years ago and I 
still have a hard time not groaning and grimacing anytime I need to use 
a Drupal site, much less when I hear people clamoring to move to such a 
time-wasting, unstable platform.

Certainly my experiences and my opinions are my own, but I would 
appreciate it if you let go of your argument now, because I certainly 
back up Trent with a firm -1 on Drupal adoption for darcs sites.
