Experience with a specific product is way overrated because a) products don't last forever, programming does b) any decent programmer can learn how to work with harp in about the same time it would take a Wordpress expert to get up to speed with your particular Wordpress setup

Somewhat agree/somewhat disagree. Products don't last forever, but the large open source products like Drupal and Wordpress have been around a fairly long time - long enough to instill confidence in my boss that they will, more than likely, continue to exist in the future. I do agree with your second point. But my point was not necessarily about my personal opinion - my point was that organizations are often concerned about this (e.g. my boss) - and that makes it difficult to commit to a smaller, closed-source or hosted vendor.
