What would you say is the biggest flaw in it's design?
I don't use it so I have no clue of what it should or should not do.

It uses too many SQL calls, it has no native caching mechanism, and they seem more interested in making the AJAX entry system prettier than making it more efficient or useful.
People use it because designers have learned it, and it's pretty damn easy to shit out a WP template, and everyone's written a post tool to use it's XMLRPC.
Personally, for all blog/cms stuff, I prefer
TextPattern. The code is still fairly crappy, but it's nowhere near that of WP, it's easy to change functions and display routines so you can make it look like anything.. and it has it's own XMLRPC system, too, so you can even use stuff like autoposting with it.
It's also tons, tons faster.
I've taken Foobies traffic for 4 days on a plain TextPattern install. It was on the Foobies front page solid, they loved that site!), and it kicked up the server load, but didn't kill it. I ate a hell of a lot of bandwidth, though.
