Views 2 reaching its second beta release for Drupal 6 is promising. =)

I may revoke my decision to just move along without it. I'm still torn over whether I should add another delay to my schedule. I'd need at least Views and Organic Groups in stable and upgradeable condition for Drupal 6.

Despite my little frustration rant being mistook, I do have enthusiasm for Drupal still. There's no question over whether I'll stick with it, but whether I continue to upgrade and keep pace is completely dependent on the migration issues eventually getting resolved, which I'm feeling pretty cynical about.

A CMS in particular is something that I want to run smoothly and not have to spend a great deal of time and energy maintaining. To be clear, this is my point of frustration: Drupal doesn't upgrade or migrate easily, if it did then waiting for modules wouldn't be an issue. Views & CCK make it even more difficult, data could be stored and presented in so many different ways.

The big question for myself and the lurkers that I know are following this, is whether I just go ahead with Drupal 5 or wait some more for the key modules I need for Drupal 6, because I'm going to feel pretty stuck to one or the other.

In many ways, it's easier to wait. I can certainly occupy my time elsewhere (my gf is moving in, trust me I have lots to do, plus Age of Conan is coming soon *grin*), but I'm not a mañana person, I like to get things done and wrapped up so I can move on. I think here though, frustrations with delays need to give into the wisdom of patience. =)
