We currently use Drupal for our website, using PHP and MySQL. For our web scouting system, which is still in development, we are using PHP and MySQL as well.

The learning curve is pretty easy. I found it very intuitive. It's a tag language which makes it very easy to read through and much more clean than most things.
And response on how its better than PHP. For one thing the code is much more clean. In comparison I easily CF pages in 1/5th the time it takes me in PHP. It interacts with databases very well. You can easily make applications like my team's scouting system in no time at all.
The system takes data input by the users and makes tables for each team's matches and then it graphs charts based on the data. (the charts were a feature built into CF we did not need to use an outside one) It turned out very nice, and it got insane use at the competition.
