Both WordPress and Drupal have strong followers, and they rarely agree on what platform is more suitable for various projects. If you’re a user of one of these platforms, maybe you should eye the other? Check out the comparison over at Performancing for a great start.
I’ve just done minor work with Drupal, so I don’t know the system very well. I found it somewhat bulky though, not Joomla bulky, but still bulky compared to more focused solutions.

I was using Drupal for a while there, and now the only site I have it still installed is http://www.ubeter.com I can see that it is a great tool, very expandable, flexible, and so on.
But if you just need to blog, to share thoughts and socialise with your online community, Wordpress is by far the simpler solution, and that is what most of my sites now run on.
