Originally Ghost was a reaction to the problems some (many?) had with WordPress, it was deliberately trying to be less while doing specific things better (more efficient, easier to design/populate). I've not actually used it despite watching closely early on (I've not used WP significantly myself either, but know people who do/did, who I've helped out on some technical matters) mainly because my own making-content-worth-publishing projects have all come to very little thus far!
From comments (on HN and elsewhere) in recent years I get the impression that Ghost is still a better optimised solution than WP for some common use cases, but has switched direction a bit and started to experience the feature creep that is one of WP's issues which Ghost aimed to avoid.
