With a little discipline and a better data model(cause basically it's using a meta table for everything that dont fit the core,"post meta" values are serialized strings ...lol with bother using a RDBMS at first place?), Wordpress could actually be good(codewise),it has some good business logic.

Wordpress maintainers just dont bother...because obsessed with backward compat.

Drupal is in my opinion (oddly) easier to maintain for non coders,CCK an Views, no need for any PHP skill to create new content types or write queries in Drupal.

With Wordpress,you need to code if you want to extend anything.

My problem with both is that the plugins are written in PHP.A good CMS would have at least one plugin layer which would rely on manifests(xml,json...) rather than code(just like angular),or at least have a sandbox system with permissions,some kind of inverted oauth system (eg:"this plugin wants to be able to write to your db,write to your file system,access this or that resource...")
