I figure it would cost us hundreds of hours to upgrade to D8 and it was tempting to upgrade to D8 for the configuration management, Big Pipe, and better caching features. But that's time and money we didn't want to spend on the upgrade.
I've talked with some folks at my local Drupal User Group (shoutout TriDUG!) and several others are in the same boat, where existing sites aren't upgrading, but rather, they're doing new sites in D8.
At some point, we'll need to do something, but we're able to do what we need with D7. If pressed, it may be easier to port to Backdrop vs. upgrade to D8.
About Drupal Sun
Drupal Sun is an Evolving Web project. It allows you to:
- Do full-text search on all the articles in Drupal Planet (thanks to Apache Solr)
- Facet based on tags, author, or feed
- Flip through articles quickly (with j/k or arrow keys) to find what you're interested in
- View the entire article text inline, or in the context of the site where it was created
