The description of the category states "Why not Joomla or Drupal?". As a heavy Wordpress user willing to move to Drupal for years, I'd like to explain why I like Drupal more than Wordpress… but still use WordPress.
Drupal is way more powerful than WordPress is or, dare I say, ever will. WordPress has a bottom-up approach and is basically a blog system with desires of becoming a full-fledged CMS. Heck, WordPress is not MVC (and will never, according to the desire of the dev team).
Drupal is meant for heavy-duty websites. Its latest incarnation, Drupal 8 (presently at RC1 stage), is incredibly powerful. The philosophy of Drupal is oriented toward high-quality, scalability-oriented coding. Drupal is huge. And free.
Now, why do I still use WordPress and why most webmasters do so? Because WordPress is so much simpler to THEME! Really, the lack of free, engaging theme with Drupal really is the biggest limitation I can find. Modules is not an issue, but themes really is.
That is why, despite all my praises for Drupal, I reluctantly still WordPress for all of my projects.
(I looked at the Joomla HTML code once and I talked with a webdesign company about Joomla. That was enough to convince me to forget it - this and their bloody exclamation mark).
