I mentioned previously that I'm keeping an eye on the new features coming up in Drupal 7, and there's a biggie confirmed over at d.o with the inclusion of CCK fields in Drupal core. The delay in release of CCK and Views for Drupal 6 has been the main reason for the slow migration to Drupal 6 from Drupal 5, and moving key functionality like this into core can only be a good thing.
The ability to add fields to content types is one of the key features that puts Drupal ahead of the other open-source CMS frameworks. This combined with Views and the extensive Theme system (PHPTemplate) makes Drupal a pleasure to develop for and build websites with.
I'm looking forward to watching the progress of this code sprint from 15th Dec.
