I have different opinion: Wordpress sucks in CPU usage (you can still use WPcache), but I think it's good only for small blogs
Wordpress is easy to install and its quite user friendly. Also, there are number of useful plugins available which can be easily activated to enhance the wordpress blog.
I have 3 wordpress blogs - they are so easy to use even though i dont know much abt PHP - and you can always add any feature to your blog using great plugins - love you WP!
I agree, should be awesomepress. You can so easily build full websites within minutes just like this one I built for Sun Valley Pool Service
I watched a interview recently with Matt Mullenwegg when he was at a tech conferance where he mentioned that over 20% of websites now run on wordpress which is the largest market share for any platform on the internet. I thought that was interesting, yet not that surprising with the amount of technology the platform has while making it easier for the everyday website builder, business owner or blogger
