It's a sign that experts would choose drupal over wordpress.
Wordpress is far superior on to many fronts to even waste time discussing.

I hear what you're saying and, no doubt, Drupal does some things very well. Where I work, we've built a few standalone projects with it. However, it also has some huge drawbacks when compared with something like Wordpress for medium sized, discussion-based sites (blogs on steroids, or even discussion forums). Drupal is a mess to theme and very difficult to hand off to an end client who just wants to easily update content. Theming it, with it's convoluted combination of views and mods is, frankly, a pain of monumental proportions. The mod update process, compared to that of plugin updates on Wordpress, pales in comparison, from an ease-of-use standpoint. Wordpress is infinitely easier to configure and to manage content, due to a much more elegant backend. It has a very active community and follows the same open source approach to extending the platform, as does Drupal. Wordpress has addressed many of the things that used to make it a second choice for larger sites with a lot of users, though it's still probably weak compared to Drupal in the user management arena. I'm not trying to open a debate here, since IxDA has already chosen to use Drupal, but it's certainly not the only game in town for seeing an open source approach in a robust community. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
