The web is liberally littered with “What is better WordPress or Drupal” debates (sometimes with Joomla thrown in for good measure). As a long time user of both, I don’t think this is a useful question. But neither is the common answer that they both serve a different purpose. That is true up to a point but I think the real question is not “what” but rather “when”. When it comes down to it, there is nothing that WordPress can do that you could not do in Drupal. But there are many features of Drupal that simply cannot be replicated in WordPress. (Here I’m talking with available modules without significant code.)
There are many ways to compare the two and a web search will reveal many such comparisons. Here I focus on the sort of considerations an individual starting a blog or a small personal site or small institution (such as a school, interest group or a no-budget charity) needing to establish a web presence should take into account.

Directory Lister lets you list all or selected files you have in selected folders on your storage units into text, csv or html file. You can choose: which items to list (subdirs, size, date, time, attribs, directory names, directory size, full path, crc32 value); which directories to be included; sort options; selection mask (e.g.: *.mp3). It is possible to generate lists for each processed folders, to load and save personalized settings, and to list files from command line (for FTP owners).

This is an issue that came up on IRC and I wasn't sure if there was a solution or not. Basically, we needed a way to bind multiple commands to be run in a given order to a single keyboard shortcut. Ordinarily I'd say to just use macros, but as it turns out, you can't use a macro to show the find panel or anything like that, so this is the solution I came up with: a command that runs multiple commands in whichever context the command needs to be run in.
