If you're an engineer/coder building sites by clicking buttons all day, you're in the wrong job. That's not Drupal's fault though. Drupal is a CMS - a powerful one, but not a framework..

At my work we've got a team of "web designers" building websites using Drupal. It allows them to build most of the stuff that clients want for their website/intranet, without writing code. For the more business-logic heavy applications that need to scale and continuously require new features there's a separate team of Django developers.

This approach seems to work fairly well: designers get to build pretty advanced stuff they normally wouldn't be able to without some programming help, developers don't get the boring CRUD/shopping cart stuff.
