I use WordPress for small personal blog projects. If there is any customization at all though, I build it in Drupal.
Why? While WordPress plugins tend to solve a specific problem, Drupal modules work together to extend functionality. Drupal 8 is built with Symfony components, which are very well written.
Drupal has a steep learning curve and the defaults suck, it's true. However, I couldn't imagine trying to build anything reasonably custom on top of WordPress.. unless it was just a blog or brochure-site.
I use this approach to create marketing / brochure websites with Drupal and have received excellent feedback from customers.
At this point, I loathe working with WordPress, it feels like a toy. Though my biggest complaints aren't so much WordPress but the approach of so many "WordPress jockeys" who opt for commercial plugins and themes. These rarely update with WP CLI, and the "developer" typically doesn't give the owner access to renew the licenses. This leaves the owners site in a compromised position, difficult to maintain.
While the premium and freemium WordPress market has made people a lot of money, I feel it's ultimately bad for the WordPress ecosystem. Also, the WordPress plugin issue queues suck. Why can I not filter results by version?
