What are the advantages of WordPress over other systems?

by

I’ve tried to explain the benefits of WordPress to others; comparing it to static sites is easy, as (most) everything can be done online with WP. I have more difficulty comparing and contrasting with other content management systems such as Drupal.

I realize that there is no perfect system for every use, but what features – if any – of WordPress would you point out as being easier or more useful, compared to other tools?

I am particularly interested in features regarding use of WP as a CMS, not just a blog.

Hi @Grant Palin:

My use of WordPress is almost exclusively CMS, and the other software I have experience with is Drupal (2 years ago, but have continued to follow it) and DotNetNuke (5 years ago, and I haven’t looked back.) I also reviewed Joomla about 3+ years ago and found is to be both too complex and too inflexible, so I never seriously considered it.

Anyway, I can only speak with any real authority about how WordPress compares with Drupal as a CMS, and as luck would have it I wrote a blog post about exactly topic last week:
