I getting the impression Drupal is more supported than Joomla

I getting the impression Drupal is more supported than Joomla. I.E. new features get implemented in Drupal before Joomla.

Can someone verify or deny this. I am not too far down the road with CiviCRM/Joomla that I cannot go down the CiviCRM/Drumla road

I have loaded Joomla 1.5.6 and CiviCRM 2.1
I have added some custom fields and some groups, so if it is fairly easy to convert to Drumla from Joomla, that would be most helpful.

I am trying to set up some groups so that group leaders can manage their list of 10 people, from the user front end and not the admin backend

I would say that CiviCRM has better integration with Drupal rather than Joomla. Drupal has a better framework and more extensible architecture than Joomla (IMO).

except for civicrm_uf_match table (whcih can be truncated), the contents of the db are same across Drupal and Joomla. So switching between the two should not be hard. However Drupal and Joomla are two very different CMSes, so you should be aware and choose one that fits your needs
