A brief answer on why I love Drupal
I started working with Drupal in 2014 at my former employer and was coming from a background of building my own CMS solutions with PHP and several PHP frameworks.
The hate against the complexity of Drupal was huge in the beginning, but after Drupal 8 was coming more mature with the adoption of Symfony as a framework for many components the love started growing (exponential).
For me Drupal is much more than a CMS. It's a swiss knife which I use as a development framework for many solutions. It's also made me learn to work with Symfony (in many cases just for some basic microservices doing 1 thing). For my backend development work it's really a comprehensive toolbox I enjoy using everyday.
And it's excists since 2001 (it was the best CMS in 2008), so the chance it will exist the coming 20 years is big (I love to apply The Lindy Effect here). Just like PHP ;-)
And I must not forget to mention the community, the people <3

Never worked with panels, it was just before my time when starting with Drupal I suppose. I learned to use Context, display suite and features with Drupal 6 and 7 which were far more predictable. But within 1-2 years working with those modules, it was time to move on with Drupal 8.
I'm not a fan of layout builder, I use Paragraphs instead which can be used with Layout Paragraphs.

Just starting to become familiar Drupal with work projects, updating to 10, hence the question.
What are the drawbacks of Layout Builder that you see? The fact content is not indexable & searchable?
reply
Do you mean the content is not indexable and searchable withing Drupal?
Layout Builder is a sitebuilder solution.
Layout Parapraph is designed for content editing solutions.
My clients don't build their site themself, I provide them the tools to do content editing.
Layout Paragraph is more self-explanatory in use. With Layout Builder I see clients having troubles with managing sections and the properties displayed in a sidebar.
From an architectual point of view, working with paragraphs feels much more logic than blocks (used by Layout Builder).
Don't hesistate to ask for help while discovering Drupal more and more ;-)
