Having developed with both of these options, Wagtail gives the developer complete control over what models and plugins go into the system and when upgrades happen. For some situations this is a good thing, for others it is not.

> the ecosystem of WP seems to be a magnitude greater

Define "greater", right? WP has more plugins, but many of them don't work, or are vulnerable, or throw in a bunch of random messaging and nagware, or slow down the site. In one sense, the Wagtail ecosystem is a lot smaller but what's there is of a higher quality. It's the old "Macs don't get viruses because they don't have the market share to warrant the attention" phenomenon.
