WP is fantastic for the first group you mentioned. I put it up there with Excel, Filemaker, Visual Basic and similar software that democratize software and make it accessible to everyone. Naturally all of these things have limits and quality issues that some percentage of users eventually face. That is in of itself fine. The problem arises when it is expected of a professional to integrate or build on top of these. People come to web developers with quality expectations, unique problems and requirements. But the legacy that is WP puts so many stumbling blocks and gotchas in the way of these goals that it's not worth it to put a square peg into a round hole. (Similar can be said about common CRM and ecommerce platforms and solutions.)
