I agree and i went a bit offtopic. Noticed it when i re-read later on my comment and the topic.

I go with the principle, use the right tool for the right thing. Dont try to fit or adapt something into doing something else.

And i know WP is not well suited for large projects, but for 90% of the real world websites (which are mostly presentational websites), WP can do the job very well.

It requires to be configured well, when it comes to security, performance and stuff like that.

It requires to be maintained, updates for example but the rest is mostly easy enough for an end-user to take care on himself.

With this, going back on topic, i would say we as developers should know, IMO at least, the tools and should know the capabilities of each tool and should have the skills to present correctly to the client their options so the best choice can be made.
