In my opinion, Drupal is a much better platform than WP, except that it has always had a much higher geek factor, and I think that's what has stunted it.

I feel that the engineering behind Drupal has always been top-notch. I wrote a couple of Drupal plugins and themes, BitD (Back in the Day), but that was a long time ago. I'm sure that big changes have come, since then.

What I liked, was being able to completely customize both the frontend and the backend of a Drupal site. WP doesn't really give you much, in the way of making its backend much simpler.

During that time, WP has improved its engineering and architecture significantly, so it's still a tough call.
