I first started off with PHPFusion. I would not touch WordPress. Why? It kept crashing. Not because WordPress was crashing, but because I was installing dozens of plugins just to install them because they "looked good".
Once I learned: install the plugins you need, not every single plugin you come across. My views on WordPress changed. I also realized how easy it was to setup and use.
Not only that, but when it comes to clients, I realized how easy it was to train them with WordPress. In fact, there is so much documentation out there, I normally end up sending them a 5 minute YouTube video which shows them how to login, create posts and pages. After that, they usually go exploring WordPress on their own. Cost to me? $0 and a little time.
However, I have drifted away from using WordPress for my personal projects. There are millions of things that WordPress can do and almost nothing it cannot do, but there are things that WordPress just can't do my way.
