I get asked a lot “What do I use to blog”, or variations on that… I’ve tried them all, including Drupal, Joomla, etc… WordPress is to me started out a the “quick and dirty” way to throw up a site with blogging… the others required a steeper learning curve to get just right… WordPress has since matured, and in my mind, is getting stronger all the time… more plugins being developed (that MATTER… not in sheer numbers – how many “RSS reader” addons can be THAT different). Themes are easier to develop for (to me) and the ability to change code IN the site… all are good points that keep it at the top of my list…
