I like Drupal a lot but as soon as I started getting into Wordpress I found the same amount of plugins and I think the overall code base for Wordpress is easier to work with and customize. The backend is also easier to navigate and I've noticed clients have less trouble navigating around within WP as compared to Drupal. I also taught students and clients how to use both and most have less complaints about Wordpress. The only problem I've run into Wordpress thus far is adding plugins that may not work with the current version properly. Most of the time this can be fixed by simply deleting the plugin from the plugins folder BUT I have had to reinstall one whole site before.

I myself use Drupal for my website, I like Drupal for the fact that there are so many modules I can install and add more functionality. The only issue I have with Drupal is that its blogging platform isn't as strong as it should be. I guess it's the difference of what people like to use in their CMS. I like Drupal, but I guess WordPress isn't bad at all for blog-centric websites.
