That said, everybody seems to move to Wordpress these days. It’s not nearly as diverse as it used to be.

My company does a lot of high-end CMS builds and WordPress is never even on the table. The hot thing at the moment is headless cloud CMS like Contenful or Prismic. Our deep-pocketed clients are more likely to go for something like AEM or Sitecore. For low-touch systems, we'll usually just recommend a static site generator.
I've heard of Sitecore, but AEM. What's that?
Adobe Experience Manager. It's surprisingly pleasant from a DevOps perspective. It has a ton of features and fundamentally "works" but it can be onerous and has some weird architectural decisions.

Since Adobe acquired Omniture and some ad management companies, it sells it as an all-in-one marketing platform even though those integrations are mostly worthless. It makes for an awesome marketing demo, but it's ultimately very disappointing.
