The idea of withdrupal.com came to us first of all from the need to showcase what drupal can do. Specially when many web developers/designers believe that its impossible to use a content management system and be flexible at the same time. So, they go either with raw php or with PHP frameworks (which is not wrong in many cases). How many of you had a hard time convincing a company or an agency that Drupal can be considered as Content Management Framework. How many times you said "Drupal can do it" or "Drupal has a large community and can be maintained easily" or even "If you understand the hook system you will know that almost everything is possible with Drupal".
In my opinion this belief's origin comes from the old days where people were using CMSs like PHPNuke and bbforums (I'm not using them since a long time and don't know about their current power). But at the time I used them I was forced to do things as the CMS itself wants me to do.
