It's no wonder, Craft is a great pick. I've built numerous sites with it and it works like a charm. What they nailed down is that it has great UX for content creators and developers as well. The speed at which you can build sites is amazing.

You can even build your startup MVP with it if you consider it as a headless, REST API prototype tool. Data modelling is where it excels.

I guess I have to stop praising, it starts to feel like a paid ad :)

BTW I don't get the naysaying for being proprietary, the source is open.

The source is shared, it is not an open source CMS. If it was an open source CMS, it would be provided under an open source license that complies with the OSD in full.
I love Craft's data structure. What WordPress mashes together as custom post types, Craft natively implements as entries, which are arbitrary collections of fields.

It's also trivial to keep under source control.

My only gripe with Craft is Redactor, which can easily be replaced.
