Wordpress is growing popular, but at the cost of losing quality developers. Simply because its codebase has become horrible, memory-heavy and bloated. I understand Wordpress gives you the tools to build a CMS portal, etc. But it doesn't do one thing very well and tries to do multiple things pretty averagely. For example (this has been cited before) implementing pagination on the posts page and pages themselves is horrendous. After being with Wordpress for more than 4 years now, I am now frustrated and recommend my clients anything but Wordpress. It was cool and helpful, but over the years, it's codebase quality has drastically reduced. If you ran CMS'es based off wordpress, I have nothing but sorry feelings for you; simply because I ran one too. Now, my new favorite isn't blogger or tumblr, but rather: rails generate scaffold Post title:string content:text

For small groups/projects like student organizations and blogs with multiple editors, Wordpress can be a godsend. I was part of a student organization that needed an informational website with a blog component so I quickly set up a Wordpress site that 5-10 people used to populate the site with content.
As an aside, the individual who took over my role as web admin has since moved the site to Dreamweaver :( The older members of the org are frustrated that they can't individually add content to the site anymore and the org is transitioning the site back to Wordpress in the fall.
