    One reason: your client. If a client wants something easy to administer, then use Wordpress. If a client wants a community-driven site, use Joomla or Drupal.

    With Joomla you look more professional to your clients.... Just use WP for your own stuff...

    Joomla has better control of publishing articles. I think it has more customized modules/plugins/components than WP.

    I just think you can use Joomla to make a website. Where unless you really mod-up Wordpress, you simply have a blog.
