In Drupal you have the GUI to create whatever type you want. How about in WP, do I still have to code to create one?
How does WP custom post types fare compared to Drupal’s?

Even though there are plugins to register Custom Post Types in WordPress, this is not the way it should be done.
According to core developer Andrew Nacin, Custom Post Types should be implemented (in code) not registered (by clicks).
This makes them more managable and easier to improve and further develop or hack. Also, code versioning is the way it goes.
Not necessarily, you can use the Custom Post Type UI plugin to create one with a GUI. If it doesn’t have to be an actual custom post type, you could also use PODS, which achieves a similar result using a custom object type.
