The problem as I see it is when I've got an html site and it needs to be converted to a CMS for easy management. A good example from among my sites would be: http://www.avidnetwork.com/ I don't see how this could be done with WordPress without significantly changing the design. Note: I didn't say the site link above is a good site; it's just an example of the kind of layout complexity which in my opinion wouldn't work with WordPress. It needs to be redone in a new size (1024x768 vs 800x600) and it needs almost all new content and some new art, but the format needs to be veriy similar to what's there now, including comments, boxes, etc. And no links to previous posts, and no "click to continue reading"; the sort of things WordPress is so good at. I'd think Drupal would be good for this.
