See for yourself by comparing the designs. Things like omitting the sidebar completely, doing the footer menu well, doing the primary/secondary links ideally, squeezing a language selection block into the header - they're mostly *possible* with Drupal, but they don't fit well with the normal design and tend to require some custom PHP code in the template, rather than Just Working. When I say "too hard" I mean that it was too hard for me to do at that point when I was just creating a prototype of it all. Some, like the primary and secondary links, would have come back properly a little later on, but the thing is they require *work* in Drupal, while in Django the system can be designed that way at a lower level, more friendlily. (For example, instead of having a "language block" which is just a fixed block, you can easily have a template which manages the HTML for the block completely). Working with Drupal yourself extensively, you may disagree with me on the "too hard" - but I hope you'll see what I mean, anyway.

Some elements in duckgoesoink's design I had changed for no good reason other than that in Drupal it would be too hard to do it another way.
Which elements?
