WordPress has a good backend and prints clean code. It's simple, easy, and searchable. For small sites, I almost always recommend using it as a CMS.
But I somewhat agree -- WordPress is still first and foremost a blogging system. But open source is meant to be built on after all.

I think this issue starts from a wrong ideia. I already discussed with a friend of mine that WordPress IS NOT a Content Management System but a Weblog System but it is so good that people start to wish it is.
A Weblog system is a personal diary and we must assume that the people that we invite to be co-authors are our personal friends and that they are people we trust.
A CMS system does not need to have friends around but it need to have a very tight Workflow to avoid the kind of problems mentioned already.
If you wan't a CMS with Roles and Levels and a big professional Workflow then you should choose something like ezPublish or Typo3 and not a blog system. A good example is at http://www.care2x.org/ made with Typo3.
If you just wan't to blog keep yourself with Wordpress.
Even if you need something that is more than a Webolog but not necessarely a full blown CMS you can stick with something Drupal (or Civicspace). Good example at http://www.culturekitchen.com/
Thanks to FOSS you have a lot of options. Diferent solutions for diferent needs. Don't try to make it all-in-one.
Best,
Lopo
