Others ?
• Themes : There are more than 7000 themes available more
than its competitor. Most of them are freely available.
• Quality Plugins : You can’t add functionality to your WordPress
site very quickly, in that case plugin comes very handy .
WordPress provide many quality plugins which makes your task
easy & quick. Best of all, you can get free plugins to do most
things perfectly well. Most plugins are downloaded, installed and
configured in a no time. WordPress emphasis on ease-of-use
seems to have rubbed off on the plug-in writers!

whereas WordPress was designed to solve problems. This is
because WordPress has a clear target audience (bloggers).
