@Pop Stalin: I definitely agree with you on the usability of the admin section subject.

if you planning big social site, drupal is the best.
if you planning professional blog site, wordpress is cool :)

i think like that.

I’m speaking strictly from the client -side of the park with this statement. I’ve a web designer/developer and would consider myself an advanced Internet user; clients would never be able to make their way around the admin sections of Drupal/Joomla comfortably.

Yeah, they may be more extensible but for me it comes down to ease of use for the client and you can’t get much easier than WordPress plus it’s pretty powerful to boot. The only thing I wish you could do more easily with it that you can’t now are the community aspects that Drupal/Joomla provide via plugins.

I’m always happy to tackle a Drupal project, but WP is still more ubiquitous and seems to be an ever recurring theme in the industry, with projects such as Diso‘s first implementation, etc.

Like @John B, I think both projects have great values, but in slightly different spheres. I’d compare more Drupal to Joomla vs. WordPress to Movable Type.

I find that if I’m trying to do something “blog-like” then WordPress is by far the best choice.

I’ll second Stephane. SVN is your friend — the couple hours it took me to figure out how to use it has been repaid hundreds of times over.

But seriously, svn is your friend when it comes to incremental updates. Just checkout the appropriate branch, then svn update as needed.

What’s that? 9th one this year?

i’m more of a java/solaris/jboss and asp.net/windows/iis person, so php is not familiar to me (even though it is easy to get into it) and wp codex helped a lot with the latest theme i did from scratch.
