Example? I have been using Joomla since the day it was released, there's nothing WordPress can do that it can't. Not one single thing. At all. Well, the only thing is that WordPress can be installed and managed by anybody. Joomla can be installed by anybody and managed by people who know how to use it. Just like Drupal, I do not sit here bashing Drupal because of one simple fact. I do not know how to use it, therefore I couldn't really comment on any limitations. Same situation, I suspect you're a WordPress user who decided to try Joomla one day, couldn't find something silly like Permalinks (which are controlled by the article alias, so long as SEF URLs are enabled and you have activated your htaccess file) and quit. Now you hate Joomla.
Show me a website and its equivalent has been made in Joomla. If it's a blog site or just a place to POST content, it's been made in WordPress, but I can show you a bazillion websites that WordPress is incapable of replicating.
WORDPRESS IS NOT A CMS. WORDPRESS IS A BLOG.
Night and day.

I have used wordpress on many sites.. I have now actually switched several sites over that were static to wordpress.
You can get a lot of custom functionality out of it relatively cheaply if you get a programmer who knows what they are doing.
Plus google still likes wordpress.. has done since the beginning!

I currently use Wordpress and Drupal.
For all my smaller quicker sites i currently use Wordpress however the larger more complex sites I use Drupal.
If you have little to no experience i definitely would recommend wordpress. However I do find Drupal much more powerful if you want to create highly customisable sites. It is a much steaper learning curve and there isn't near as much help as there is for wordpress.

Wordpress can be anything you want it to be... Joomla is only a CMS not a blogging platform and yes, I have used Joomla in the past and it doesn't even come close to WordPress's functionality.
If you choose Joomla as your main means of marketing your going to be at a disadvantage.

have used both WP and Joomla
- wp is easier to learn off the ground, has tons of plugins already made for it, and the majority of "neat" plugins (autoposting, seo, linking, etc.) are written for it. Good developer community and help for almost any part of it
- joomla is better for managing each individual page, and also for managing a larger multi user environment where multiple people are editing and adjusting different pages in my opinion - I'd say it's maybe halfway between a blog platform and an HTML WYSIWYG editor - you have more "visual" control of individual page elements and how pages are displayed than I personally find you do in WP.
both are valid for this type of work, would recommend wordpress for beginners and joomla for those a little more technically inclined who see a specific use for it.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard all day.
"Joomla is only a CMS not a blogging platform and yes, I have used Joomla in the past and it doesn't even come close to WordPress's functionality."
Did you really just say that?
The only way I'll take anything you say with any sort of seriousness (at this point in time, I'm assuming that your post was a joke), is if you go into a WordPress site and send a message to another registered USER using the BUILT IN messaging system. Let me know when you've done that and I'll get back to you with a bazillion other features that Joomla does in its spare time that WordPress is 100% incapable of doing in any way.
And if you do one of them, I'll just kill your website with security exploits. lol
(I'm mostly just fucking with you, but seriously... I can't believe you said that.)

It all depends on your skills and what you need it for.
To me Joomla is the best.
But I think it's just matter of personal choice. You can do the same with any CMS. Drupal is more advanced, and it takes time to learn it.
