content management system

Despite being into Drupal and believing in the software and the community, one tends to know the faults of one's own software better than the faults of other software. So the image of WordPress is something that just works, and is able to do seamless upgrades version after version, etc.

But, obviously, it's not right for everything, and its fans can realize that, too.
