Regardless of what people say about the WordPress/Drupal comparisons. The article about the "Drupal Crisis" is an important consideration. I do not know whether the views expressed in that article are widely held, or authoritative. However, if they are even partly true, Drupal is in trouble. Any project built on Drupal is at some stage going to be affected by those troubles. Were a prospective user to be directed toward that article, they would need to think long and hard about going down the Drupal road.

For me, the choice lies not only in the features of the CMS itself, but in the good health of the community around it and the development within it. Long term, this is a far greater factor than the questions about the CMS features alone. The WordPress ecosystem is healthy and fertile, and the enthusiasm shown by all involved nurtures the success of the system and will continue to increase the quality of WordPress.
