Welcome to the Backdrop CMS community!

For me, Backdrop CMS came to deliver exactly what I had wished for in Drupal 7 — especially its low resource consumption and its ability to run on shared hosting without the need for caching solutions like Memcached.

Yes, Backdrop runs smoothly on shared hosting without complex caching solutions, but that's not the ceiling of its capabilities — it's just the starting point. It is scalable for large sites, while consuming fewer resources than others at every scale. The best proof is the Stanford University case study presented at WebCamp, where Stanford saved nearly half a million dollars by migrating from Drupal 7 to Backdrop on Pantheon.

Since 2006, I've worked with many content management systems — who remembers PHP-Nuke? — and most of them disappeared for one reason only: poor project management. If management is poor, the project won't evolve — and more importantly, in open source, a community with poor management will never be a living, contributing community. Just look at the recent additions to Backdrop's core and you'll see what I mean — the leadership team works hard and transparently, the community is small but cohesive and effective, and contributing to it is far easier than with larger systems.

As for the features, Backdrop's main strength is its "no-code programming" approach, inherited from Drupal and beautifully developed. You can query the database using Views and output it to the site without writing a single line of PHP, in more than one way — as a block or a full page. We also have the amazing Layouts feature added to core, which lets you control page layouts from the admin panel without any programming intervention, with precise control over who sees what. And there's CMI, which is the secret behind Backdrop's fast browsing and low resource consumption, because it separates configuration from the database and stores it in json files that can be easily moved between environments.

As for your questions:

What features do you find most useful in Backdrop CMS? For me: Views, Layouts, CMI, and high resource efficiency.

What improvements would make your workflow easier? I'd like to see more development in Page Builders.

Do you prefer building custom themes and modules or adapting existing solutions? I lean toward adapting existing solutions first, then building custom only when needed, because that saves time and reduces errors.

So we have a system with low resource consumption, an excellent development team, high flexibility, and beautiful tools in core that save development time — so why wouldn't we use it?
