It’s been interesting to me that at our local PHP meetup group here in St. Louis, Drupal has been the CMS of choice for people to develop on top of, with Joomla being the second favorite and viewed as a little more newby friendly, and I’m the lone WordPress guy, at least at the 2 meetings I’ve been at. The freelance contractors mostly preferred Drupal, and the folks building out a site for themselves seemed to like Joomla.
It is a rather small sample size (8-10 people), but there you go. I’d be interested to hear what others’ experiences are.
I´ve started looking at Joomla a bit and while it shows promise, I feel that I must have gotten of on a wrong foot since it won´t allow me to publish my posts on a local install.
First impression though: Wow there is a lot to do and work with. But for some odd reason so far I still prefer wordpress :p Must be because I´ve spent some time in it now.
Good to hear that WP is getting prizes. It deserves it.

I’m a WP guy and prefer it over everything else I’ve tried. Most at our PHP group are split between Joomla and Drupal.

WordPress all the way. Drupal is nice, but can be a system hog. Stay away from joomla
I think Joomla is the best. WP is just good for simple blogs. Joomla has more modules than Drupal but Drupal is also nice.
If you really believe that WP “is just good for simple blogs,” you should take a look at this page: http://wordpress.org/showcase/
