Short answer: "best" depends on your needs. As points out, marketing claims are subjective; and 's "Who said it?" is fair — there is no single authority that crowns a CMS. What makes Drupal stand out are specific technical strengths that fit particular project requirements. See the project overview for a concise list of capabilities: Drupal.org and a neutral summary at Wikipedia: Drupal.

Drupal’s strengths, in practical terms:

  • Flexible content modelling (custom content types, fields, taxonomies) for complex, structured information.
  • Granular roles, permissions and workflow tools for multi-editor sites.
  • Built-in multilingual, multisite and enterprise integration options.
  • API-first and decoupled possibilities for modern frontends (REST/JSON/GraphQL).
  • Large module ecosystem and an active security team that issues advisories and patches.

When Drupal is a good choice: projects that need complex data modelling, lots of editorial roles, strict access control, heavy integrations, or a decoupled front end. When it’s not: very small sites, one-page brochure sites, or projects with no access to developer resources—those are faster and cheaper to build with simpler platforms.

Practical checklist: if the project requires structured content, heavy permissions, scalability, or multilingual support, Drupal should be considered. If the priority is speed-to-launch, minimal maintenance skills, or low cost, consider simpler options. Also factor in ongoing maintenance: modern Drupal workflows use Composer, CLI tools, and a developer-focused release/upgrade process. For up-to-date details and official guidance, consult the Drupal project pages linked above.

read their advertrising, it will tell you what makes it the best
unfortunately advertising is a lie, and best is a subjective term
Best for What?
best by what considerations
no real difference to anything else
