Questioning WordPress user satisfaction & status as a CMS

CMS Survey Results by Steve Smith

I found this Content Management Survey Results by Steve Smith of Ordered List, with WordPress having the highest usage among the respondents (173 out of 189).

One of the more interesting features of the survey was the user satisfaction levels among CMSs. WordPress had a rate of 85% (44% “it’s OK” plus 41% “very satisfied”), though lagging behind Expression Engine, which was at 94% (30% “it’s OK” plus 64% “very satisifed”).

Enter the comments who question WordPress as a full-fledged CMS and dismiss it as a mere blogging platform. Granted, the structure of WordPress really is meant for blogging. But why deprive it of the term “Content Management System”? Is it because WordPress isn’t generic enough? Should WordPress have to aspire for the title of a “true” CMS, or are people happy with the direction it’s going?
