Hi there, I've built a site in both Wordpress (http://www.artexte.ca) and Drupal ( http://www.traktion.com).
My overall impression from this experience is that there is so much more that you can do in Drupal without having to touch any PHP. The admin interface gives you sophisticated control and even just with modules like Views and CCK you already have so many possibilities for managing and styling different/custom types of content just using CSS.
