I've built several sites using Drupal 7. I've found it to be easier to use from a setup and interface point-of-view, but I've also found it to still be very buggy. I'm getting pretty comfortable with what I need to do to get the functionality out of it that I normally need, but overall I think Drupal 7 still needs a lot of work. I find myself using modules that are still in development or waiting for other modules not yet completed. I like using Drupal 7, but using it has its costs.

I recently got a new laptop. As a result, I had to go through the steps of setting up a Drupal Devel environment again. It reminded me of how difficult this process seemed the first time I did it. I wish I would have found this video at that time. On yadadrop.com, Corey Pennycuff does such an amazing job of explaining the process from beginning to end that it seemed almost painless. I post it here because it might help others make better sense of this procedure (and because I might need it again in the future.
I have to warn you that the video is about an hour long and it will take about all that time to properly setup and config all the random parts and pieces.)
