WordPress against the rest of the world?

WordPress is in many aspects more advanced than its competitors such as Blogger, Drupal, Joomla or Typepad. WordPress is better than Blogger because you own your WordPress blogs, and Blogger is owned by Google. This means that they can delete you if they want to. You cannot get your domain if you don’t pay. Drupal is powerful CMS tools, but you need to know PHP and other languages to use its strengths which is apparently directed only to experts. In terms of TypePad, it costs in range between 8 and 88$/month, it doesn’t have an open code and it is fundamental downside comparing to WordPress. Joomla CMS is often compared to WordPress, but in sense of user’s interface, WordPress is much better. Joomla CMS sometimes required 6 to 10 clicks to post an image to a site whereas WordPress requires 2 clicks.
