My last company we used Drupal, and many of the things our programmers created (trail and content mapping, buddy lists, cool user profiles) I'm not sure would have been possible using WP. One area where I'm not happy with WP is user profiles, which as you'll see in this site are in WP default format. That's something I hope to fix eventually. But in the very large WP community, I haven't found that anyone's tackled this yet and offered it out to the WP world. I’m using Wordpress for this site, and it’s pretty much all I need.

Drupal is awesome, but oftentimes Wordpress will do the trick, especially if you're just pushing out story-type content.
