I am curious as to why RT added Drupal to the mix. Isn't Joomla better than Drupal? Or is RT stepping out as a non-centric template maker?
I actually had the same question. Drupal has it's advantages, but I don't see nearly the amount of templates, extensions, and support as I do with Joomla. Hopefully, Joomla will close the gap on some of it's features, like multi-tier deployment, etc.
With so much effort going into Gantry, I hope this doesn't take away from the quality and design. Gantry seems to have it's place, but at the end of the day, the customer will first focus on the actual design and aesthetics and I still wonder if a template really needs to have a million positions. Some of the template companies that are now offering multi-system templates seem to be taking a hit on design, since they are spreading themselves to thin. Just my two cents.

Drupal 6 & 7 supposedly makes template creation easier. Drupal has a lot of module, I don't know where you got that idea? It doesn't have the 4,000 addons, but with drupal you can pretty much combine the modules to create what you want; this is what Joomla is some what missing.
I don't want to get into a CMS war. I am just surprised that Andy would add Drupal to the mix given his history with Joomla. I can see Joomla and BB3 templates because they are interfaced and we were looking for uniformity in two superior programs. I didn't understand why they went with Wordpress either. I just hope that all of this, creating Joomla, BB3, Wordpress, and now Drupal templates, doesn't take away from the quality and timeliness of RT's Joomla templates.
