• well-tooled with a system of hooks that provide ready means to accomplish most foreseeable coding aims that involve interaction with core elements

For administrators, Drupal aims to provide solutions that are:

• easy to install and set up so that there is a minimum requirement for specific technical expertise
• intuitive and self-explanatory so that administrators can easily find the configuration options they need
• highly configurable so that site administrators can present just the interface they wish

For users, all elements of the Drupal user interface should be:

• intuitive and self-explanatory so that users with minimal prior experience can easily discover, navigate, and use functionality
• uncluttered so that users are not faced with a difficult task of sorting the essential from the non-essential
