We are often asked why we choose Drupal over Joomla/Mambo or the others around.  Well when we started out looking at this we had actually built a system in XML/XSL that did a pretty nice job for what we need on the CMS end of things and were using ofbiz for the back-end transactional/ERP style stuff however we still  did not have the full framework that we wanted.

Developing this site was my first real effort at creating a D6 site.

Its been an interesting piece of work as it was for ourselves rather than a client so I have been really heavily involved in the detail aspects of the site. Most of my experiences have been significantly better than with previous versions.

I would say that after spending weeks on this site that I am left with two particular things that stick out in my mind, book outlining and menu management.
