I've used WordPress for many years now. Overall it's brilliant. Far from perfect, bloat especially can be an issue which can lead to a slow website. But there are fixes for that, it's just a shame it's not a bit lighter and faster out of the box. The best thing is the plugins, it allows you to add such huge functionality to meet your needs. For example on my personal finance blog I recently added a favorites feature which works excellently. There is an inevitable learning curve if you're new to WordPress but after a while you'll get used to it and it can be a pleasure to use.
