One of the nice things is that if you have questions, you'll definitely get a lot of help here as I'm guessing 80% or more of the people here have experience and can help.  So, there's another indirect benefit if you need one :)

At work we used WordPress to launch a new service called Kare360, and had it up and running in 8 weeks.  Well, the website prep took no more than 10 days, but we were working with a shoestring budget, and wanted to get a site up that would facilitate content management yet remain scalable.  I am not sure we will be moving it off of WordPress, though pieces are built in Ruby on Rails.

WordPress is quite salable. BestBuy.com runs WordPress.

I like the maneuverability, and the SEO is more intuitive and less laborious.

You can do anything you want to with it, there are thousands of themes to choose from, tons of well-documented technical information available, and most hosts have 1 click installs available. (And even if they don't, you can probably set up your first site ever from scratch in 15 minutes or less.)

 

It'd be easier to say what I dislike about WordPress: nothing.

 

Just know that most people who talk about WordPress here are talking about self-hosted WordPress (wordpress.org) and not wordpress.com.

On another note, I am looking at a theme change in my WordPress blog and am hoping to go to Thesis (after I get a bit of cash together to do so).  What do those of you who use Thesis think of it?

Now I have trouble remembering why I liked blogger so much (besides being free--for the most part, I consider Blogger a better platform than Wordpress.com but self-hosted Wordpress is head and shoulders above Blogger)
