Anyone want to speculate on why Django gets so much attention on HN, but Drupal doesn't? I realize they're not exactly the same thing, but the last DrupalCon was in SF, and live video of the keynotes didn't garner a single upvote.

Drupal is in an "unsexy" language and is perceived as slow, unwieldy and more of a CMS than a framework (at least this is my impression).

Drupal fits its model nicely as a CMS, but anything outside this and you are working against the code.
