I kinda agree with you - I hate rewriting stuff that works just for
fashionista reasons BUT sometimes you have to.
IMHO - the Israeli FOSS can learn from their EU / American
counterparts. FOSS is growing up. Even a small business will be more
comfortable with a professional looking service provider.
FOSS is growing beyond cheesy looking web sites and wearing sandals and
t-shirts although I admit I wear shorts 9 months a year ;-)
There are so many good examples - look at Ruby on Rails for one.
You can have a slick professional looking site with php/libxslt but
you'd have to work hard. OR - you can use Joomla and for $30 you can
have a site that looks terrific AND promotes FOSS
my 2 cents

The site is currently using FOSS tools - PHP, libxslt - and I'm openly
stating it. Do you want me to force Drupal on it -- to rebuild the
same site with Drupal, even though we don't need it, just so we'd have
an opportunity to advertise Drupal?
