There's a lot of factors here. Use the right tool for the right job.

If you want to put in the for to doing some learning Drupal is a good. Its got a massive community. Its not as "plugin" friendly as WordPress and its more server side Dev friendly than WordPress. For my personal use I use Mezzanine which is a Django project. I picked it because its got a lot of solid basics that id need, is python based yet has the backing of Django community.

Unless you roll your own you're always going to become frustrated with a decision that someone else has made for yourself.
