Comparing that with a publishing system like Joomla or Drupal is comparing apples to oranges. Yes, you can massage WP into looking like something else, but the moment you need to define e.g. fine grained access privileges or some more complex integration with other software than a WP widget or a standalone page allows (forum, mailing list management, wiki, source code browsing, etc), you are pretty much hitting a wall. Also, as soon as your website workflow isn't revolving around a blog, you are going to have a problem with WP. As soon as you need to do extensive custom scripting for WP to get it to do what you need, you can as well use a proper platform that was designed for the task from start instead of trying to force Wordpress into a role it wasn't designed for. The editor in Wordpress is pretty much standard fare you have as a plugin elsewhere (http://drupal.org/project/fckeditor for example). Regards, J.
