What are your motivations?
In purely business terms, an established package lets you deliver to
customers faster. You accept a small learning curve, because its still far
smaller than trying to establish a familiarity with the problem domain by
responding one-by-one to customer demands, especially if the customers are
expecting slick up-to-date sites.
The other common motivation is simply that programmers like to code, so we
code. Why take a 3 hour flight to LA when I can walk there myself in only
4 months!
