The answer at this point in the game is: Not for a while. Ghost is still in it's infancy (version 0.3.3 as of this post), and it still needs plenty of updates in order for it to be a complete 'full-fledged' platform. Maybe once it stabilizes and has enough built-in features comparable to wordpress will it be a contender, but right now wordpress is the most hassle-free, full-featured website builder out there. You can turn wordpress into a shopping site, a subscription site, etc. but Ghost is still primarily just a blogging platform, which by the way is not a bad thing by any means.
The advantage that ghost has is that it built with a newer and much more solid framework, so it's not as clunky and has less bugs and security vulnerabilities to deal with (at least for now). The built-in analytics are a nice advantage as well.
In any case, I'm optimistic and excited about the ghost platform. I plan to make a move to ghost within the next coming weeks. I just hope the next release brings in some basic features, like static content pages.
