There are already dozens of blogging applications out there to have you blogging in minutes. Wordpress is so far beyond 'blogging' that there will never be a 'wp killer'. It's used for ecommerce, employee management systems, LMS/education platforms, membership/login sites (affinity groups, etc). Whether it should be used for those use cases - building on top of something that wasn't really designed to be explicitly supportive of any of those use cases - that's another question. There will be - and are - dozens of 'wp killers' - ecommerce systems, blogging platforms, etc - that will cover specific use cases. But there won't likely be anything generic/flexible enough like wordpress any time soon. And that's probably an overall good thing, but that's also a different argument to make.
