WP gets better and better; and the themes and plugins equally impressive.

We are using mimbo for a magazine style site at propertyhouse.org

I agree with dnorman, I think WordPress could just used to be a blog, Drupal is the best to be a CMS.

It depends. For a simple job, I’d recommend WordPress in a heartbeat. But for anything that requires heavy lifting, Drupal is the only way to go. For me, at least…

“I’m still a pretty hardcore Drupal guy – I use it for dozens of website projects”
If you had never used Drupal, knowing what you know now, would you use still it for a CMS (or use Wordpress) – or does it depend on the site you want to build?

I’ve only used Wordpress as a CMS, and as time permits I want to try some other CMS software, but not if it would be time I do not need to spending learning it.

@Jim – absolutely! that sounds exactly like where I want to head with this. so… where to from here?

@David – the article linked by Matt wasn’t mine – I was just reposting a link to it and adding some commentary. I’m pretty sure I’m safe from being Matted or WordPressed (or whatever the equivalent of a slashdotting is) because I mostly seem to write off-the-cuff rants here

D’Arcy-
Congrats on hitting the bigtime with the nod from Matt off the WP admin panel.
Always wondered how much traffic that would bring.
We’ve never gotten a huge surge on any of our sites- and don’t have answers on what would happen if we did.
Our latest find for cool plugins is CyStats which helps you figure out almost everything about what’s hitting your site.

D\’Arcy,

Let\’s be honest, you;re the awesome one here, I just have been aping your blog style for the last two and a half years. That said, I am more thn eager to take credit for yur hardwork and present on something crazy again soon. I have a couple of ideas given the recent directions of your blog. And I want to start thinking specifically about the idea of openness, community and the \”nature\” of these applications. Sounds vague and trite, and it probably is, but it is the idea of community I really want to focus on, the idea of real spaces of hope and passion. That is the key to openness, not some god damned license. I think the qestions around copyright, and legitimizing what we do with the culture we have inherited, been fed, or have been forced to understand as property is in many ways what we need to unlearn, rather than relearning a new approach to licensing. Community as cultural re-appropriation.
