You're not alone.
I ran a team at a weekend hackathon event for non-profits. We needed to finish building their new site on the latest version of Drupal. I had SEVEN devs working on a 5 page brochure site with a page to manage events and we couldn't get it done! I felt terrible leaving it incomplete at the event, but honestly, with Drupal as the tech stack—my hands were tied. Luckily the developer who started the work was able to finish it a few months later.
To do it all over again, I would have convinced them to throw away what they had and use a different platform. If we used any other tech stack, we could have finished and launched the site during the event.
That was the first, and last time I touched Drupal.
