I love working with Wordpress (as opposed to Drupal and the like) because the admin interface is so intuitive and easy to use. The thing I did like about Drupal is the ability to create true content types (as opposed to using categories to classify posts). Now it's possible to create content types using the "Pods" Wordpress plugin. You may want to check it out -- it could prove pretty useful for client sites. Great DevLounge post.

The posts there are actually for CMS, while I used the pages as blog-like reports. I do think that the plugin strategy is difficult for anyone but a superb programmer to keep in place (which I'm not). I used a lot of custom one-off stuff that would be worthless if I wasn't also the client. Yeah, I checked out Drupal and MediaWiki before I settled on WP for my financial website, VCAStocks.
