The only reason I use WordPress is for the free web hosting. WordPress itself is shit. Things that would be very easy in real html and javascript are hard in WordPress.
Just because it's not tailored to your personal preferences doesn't make it "shit". For anyone who doesn't want to manage code, Wordpress is worth considering.
Personally, I'd like to maintain Wordpress locally and offline. Then each update exported to the server as a static site. I just haven't found a thorough enough tutorial online yet.
