Yes, I said it.

Come watch me build a basic WordPress site in less time than it takes you to floss your teeth.

WordPress gets some very important things right, and their hold on this market is proof. There are 11.4 million active installations of WordPress software, compared to only hundreds of thousands of Drupal installations. We need to get our act together, raise our standards, and lower the barrier to entry.
