As a mostly part time Drupal developer and d.o forum answerer since the 4.3/4.4 days, I also have a growing feeling of being left behind, or at least Drupal adjusting to powerful market forces and moving on from what first attracted me to it.

Note: this is just a personal observation, not a complaint and there is certainly no expectation for the anyone in the Drupal community to change course.

I used to feel I understood Drupal and how it worked, and that anything I didn't grok yet was within my grasp if I needed to. I used to eagerly await new versions and get excited about new possibilities for customising and overriding existing functionality. I enjoyed the always moving drop.

With Drupal 7 I don't feel the same way any more, even though the new stuff sounds really cool and powerful. It is all (along with Views/CCK etc) getting too big and complex now. It makes me wonder whether the effort involved in keeping up is worth it.

Anyway don't mind me, I'll go back to polishing my buggy whips now :)
