One question I get on a regular basis is, "so, what's the best CMS?"  And I invariably reply, "it depends." There really is no best CMS; there is only the best fit for you, in your scenarios.

This also means there is no easy answer. You'll have to do your homework to figure it out. Inevitably, any system will have its advantages and drawbacks. It's up to you to figure out which product has advantages that are a good match for your scenario, while you could still live with (and plan for) the drawbacks.

So which is better, Drupal or WordPress? I've seen quite a few blog posts covering that in the past year. But there's only one truthful answer: ...it depends. Drupal has strengths in community-oriented sites and placeless content. WordPress has an edge in editor usability. I could go on for another 33 pages to describe other differentiators in detail. (In fact, I have.)

But really, to ask whether Drupal or WordPress is better is asking the wrong question. First of all, if you only compare those two, you'll surely want to broaden your horizons a bit. In the grander scheme of things, Drupal and WordPress are actually very similar systems. There's a lot more out there. Preference for one over the other will come down to specifics. Secondly, those should be your specifics; nobody can answer the question for you. You'll have to think for yourself.

That's why I can't offer a generic answer to the question. Which is the best, Drupal or WordPress? Quite possiby neither. We'll gladly provide you with independent information to help you choose; and assist you in reaching a conclusion. But answering the question, ultimately, is up to you.
