Drupal is a web CMS, not a general CMS. People who think it is anything more than that, and compares at any level to a deep CMS, are uneducated.
As well, many other CM systems have had taxonomy features for quite some time. But it's common in the myopic Drupal world to have all these claims of "firsts" and sloppy comparisons (like the laughable document claiming Drupal design has so many sophisticated features - Drupal's design is successful because it is a giant hack upon hack, er, hook) - keeps the clients happy, and the giant developer egos soothed (they can't get work done any other way).
Which goes along well with creating a mythos around the scary tech that the techie (who is not even a solid form) is gonna make easy to use with their special magic.
Well, thanks for trying. Drupa is so successful because of tactics like this.
