I am going to maintain that technology follows needs; if your needs are similar to a blog structure, WordPress absolutely is your best bet. In fact, I use it for this site. However, there are things that run better in Joomla or Drupal, such as user-access levels, custom menus to display categories of articles, in the case of Drupal custom content types and organization, or in Joomla, ease of administration interface. Each system has its strengths, so its important to understand what you want to do with your web management system when you pick which the one into which you are going to invest time, energy and money.

For me, WordPress is still the best. To think that it’s very easy to use whether you’re using a blog site or another SEO site. But if your preference is a different technology, the performance still, is based on your preference.

Really, that depends on what they want to do. If they are creating a relatively simple site, news, info pages, and so forth, I agree completely. However, I have several clients who need ACL for users and content-based access control. One of them, its their first site “update” — they have used static pages before. The wordpress access-control and multi-user blog functionality required to meet those client’s needs is way more complicated than the Joomla 1.6 or Drupal 7 features that meet their needs. Proper requirements analysis will determine what to use. In most straightforward site projects I agree with you, but there are certain needs that are better met by one of the other options.
