I made a mistake in asking this question. I guess there was a limit to the question length, which for some reason I didn't see. regardless hear is my full question with a little bit of detail.

I have been assigned to build a Drupal 8 "CMS" system. After working for sometime with mild success there is a possibility to use another framework to build a more flexible and robust platform.

The scope of the project is not defined which is part of the problem, but I digress. (Basically, I working with people who don't have clue as to what they want) I think it's time to move away from Drupal and build a custom CMS. As the project will have a variety of non Drupal feature in the months to come. Now what I need is some facts to back this up. Wappalyzer used to provide charts of usage of certain frameworks.

I was wondering if there any site or articles out there I could use to prove to a non-technical person, why we should move away from Drupal. Website usage, security concerns, or hiring trends, etc.

Although I don't mind Wordpress, it has such a bad security reputation, the sysadmin won't consider it.

I would like to use Laravel or Codeigniter but need some evidence as to back it up.
