I am a drupal deserter. Used 4.6 4.7 etc., and did not do the upgrades.
Right now I am planning to revamp the site completely, and somehow cannot upgrade due to the module mess.
We have the book module and most of the content is books. I don't want to delete the book module, cause it will make most of the site to vanish.... Blah blah blah
Anyways, coming to the point, I am thinking of trying drupal 6.1
I tried Joomla, and though its easy and all, its administration is cryptic and non-intutive. In dumbing down the management process, it seems to have gone dumb.
So I am thinking.. why not come back to drupal
Some things I need to know
1. Suppose I have a module like books module, and most of the content is books. A new upgrade comes, and when i disable that books module, will I be able to see the books, or will I see the books only when I re-enable the module?
2. The default theme sucks. 4.6 etc., did weird things with new themes during the upgrade process especially. Has 6.1 improved things
3. The site in question will have a blog, some articles, and a few books in addition to a small gallery. drupal or Joomla... what do you suggest?
4. I heard ajax is supported and some supposedly web 2.0 wizadry is there which is missing in Joomla!... any ideas?

Very tentative/afraid to answer but here goes....
1. Book module is part of Drupal core, so no need to disable it when you update your site. For actual contrib modules, read their update instructions. Most have a way to update them.
2. Don't care. Download a contributed theme. Read the Theme guide and make your own. Buy one. You're not paying for the contributed or core themes so frankly you just saying things suck is kind of a mean thing to do and makes me not want to answer your questions at all.
3. This is a Drupal board so Drupal.
4. Yes there is some stuff in Drupal now.
