We've been playing with Drupal 6's various release candidates (we haven't installed the final release on our test set-up yet) and have been extremely impressed at the changes made in streamlining and simplifying the installation and overall management system. Is it as easy as WordPress, well no -- that's not really Drupal's aim -- but it is much more intuitive than Drupal 5, which in itself was a step-up from Drupal 4.
