A little success to celebrate?

From the Information Week article on Drupal.
It assumes that you know very little about running servers, setting up a database or tweaking PHP, and instead gives a step by step walkthrough for setting up your first site. This is the kind of new-user-friendly attitude that the Drupal community exudes.
(emphasis mine). This is much more positive about the ease of installation than any other industry magazine review of Drupal I've seen. I know there's more work to do, but we should also celebrate the success of things like the very simple and powerful multi-page installer.
Great News!
I think the movement with emphasis on usability is a really good one, still a lot of work and mindset to be changed but we are slowly getting there. I do agree that most magazines still write Drupal down quite negatively (but they are always comparing it with blogging solutions)
Nice find!
What? Drupal's not just a blogging platform?
@greggles, Nice find! Thanks for posting that link, it shows that all our living-room-couch efforts are actually making a difference in the product's perception to the world.
