We have chosen WordPress and Drupal as our primary development platforms and we have tremendous respect for both camps. Anyone that has ever gone under the hood of Drupal understands it's power and impact. WordPress is a Volkswagen, value priced and easy to drive. Drupal is a Lamborghini, tough to master and far less popular as a result. We drive a Volkswagen when budget retrains us but we drive a Lamborghini when budget is secondary to performance, power and delivering podium positions for our clients.

So, it won because Drupal and Joomla could not compete with it legally.
