It isn't really fair to compare Drupal to Django. One is a CMS and the other is an MVC app framework. The article pretty much beats up Drupal for not being an MVC app framework.

If you are looking to build a website, Drupal is awesome. If you are looking to build a web app, Drupal is painful, and something like Django (or RoR, CodeIgniter, etc) is a great solution. Comparing the two is like comparing a hammer to a saw. They are both good tools for different jobs.

They could have just made a crappy app, and sold based on a gimmick and an existing fan base, but they actually went and created a really great app with lots of extra features.

After having so much fun with this application, I'm left wondering why there aren't more karaoke apps for iPhone.
