I'd love to upgrade from D5 to D6, but I can't because I had to install a dozen modules and make a few changes to the core code to fix the litany of UI problems in D5 so it could be used by consumers. These modules aren't all supported in D6. Short of dropping 3-5k to hire someone to come in and do it for you or devoting a solid month to mapping it out and carefully upgrading, I don't see how it's possible to ever upgrade a substantial (50+ modules) Drupal site.
That said, nothing else out there compares to Drupal + Views + CCK. I just wish it performed better.

Yep, that's my experience too...
The funny thing is that I don't understand why they don't get it together more. A bit more direction and less of a 'let's code fest' would help a lot.
Bugs that I've fixed (sent in patches to the relevant maintainers) are still in the templates more than a year later.
It's really weird because they could go sky high.
