WordPress is awful, I have had the misfortune of having to write plugins and themes for it and having to immerse myself in the arcane knowledge of WP plugin writing (their docs are seriously crap, I have no idea if I did things 'the right way'). But! My company's website runs on WP nonetheless, mainly because I don't want to spend time on creating a website when I could work on our product. WP allows my less technical employees to tinker with the website and the marketing oriented folks to do whatever marketing oriented folks do. It runs conveniently on its own isolated VM where people can bikeshed it all day long. If your website is not your primary product, I don't see the point in writing your own stuff unless you got some leftover time you're willing to sacrifice to write it in.
