Whilst I tend to agree with the other comments that there's a lot of code, and it's far from elegant to develop into, from an end-user perspective, there's no match to Wordpress. User-interface is easy to understand and use, you have tons of very useful plugins (of course some are horrid). For a non-developer or a beginner PHP developer it gives you a very nice framework to build a blog or a CMS platform. Plus - unlike frameworks like django or rails, installing it and getting running from day 1 is a breeze.
