So I am about make our church's welcome page user-customizable. Ignoring all the details of how I THINK I am going to pull this off, I have one question to throw out to the group.

The "customizable" part I have planned is that the user can pick from a large selection of widgits (all church website or denomination related) to be placed on their customized welcome page. ok fine.

Now, I have read the Drupal website and read some posts here and there, but I am still not getting the "why" behind using Drupal. No, I do not presently use Drupal. I code in ASP.NET and all of the other low level languages (css, html, javascript, sql). So, if you could humor me and help me out, I would like to hear your personal opinion on the advantages of using Drupal. Also, if you have the reasons not to use Drupal, that would be great.
