Most simple content management needs can be met by Wordpress. Like Drupal, it also has a huge user and developer community. If you need more sophisticated interaction, Drupal might offer better tools.

Agreed. In my experience with Drupal so far, it's too complex for many common use cases, yet at the same time lacks code quality when you try to really exercise it. For example, if you want to use it with external data stores that run on non-toy (that is, non-MySQL) database software, you're in for a lot of work. 

WordPress is a much better solution for simple sites, imo.
