Retrofit has opened an easier path to upgrading from Drupal 7. And Backdrop CMS offers an option for those who refuse to modernize but require a solid off-ramp.
@symfonystation While I agree that sites need to make a long overdue decision about their direction, is there any evidence that Retrofit will actually save a team time or produce a stable, reliable upgrade? I also take issue w/ describing Backdrop as a solution for people “stuck on the outdated Drupal 7 mindset”. While I rely on a modern build process to test the tightly coupled CMS/CRM solutions, the cost and complexity of maintaining this is FAR from serenity and the pace of change is intense.
Oof, the attitude in that article.
I’m moving 10 sites to Backdrop in the near future.
Retrofit is new and untested whereas Backdrop has been thriving for years. It seems like a safer route.
