    I see no need to develop something specific to Drupal when there is a ready-made solution... coding for coding's sake? feh. :D

    Why is Drupal TopSites using some crappy web script and not the software which it is promoting? :P

    The API is relatively easy to work with, even a non-coder like me has managed to do rather advanced things with it writing my own modules. If you have the time and motivation it can certainly be done.
