i will say, if you want a blog-style site and you have a lot of time waste, then use WP.
if you want to run a large site that publishes weekly or more often -- or want to run a network of sites -- then using WP will be an extreme waste of time.
your time on a paysite (as a webmaster) should not be used for building the site or managing content. 90% or more of your time needs to be spent marketing.
so, i didnt mean to offend by calling anyone an idiot. i just know there's better ways to manage a paysite.

The only valid argument you made is it's a pain to run a network of sites from one WP install. However, it's not impossible and it's very easy to plug the admins together, symlink content into one area... once the CMS templates have been created in WP - It's no different than any other CMS.
Not saying that how this system works... but it's far from impossible.
WP can handle millions of unique visitors a day. It can be locked down as much as any other software. It can be fully automated, it can do more than other CMS's in our Industry because of it's plugins and ability to be customized. And it has no limit on the developers you can find.
I wouldn't recommend WP for a huge network of sites, but a front end, members area, blog, tube, all in one type thing... and free sites, promo sites, diary, polls, reviews, ratings, auto updated with "personality" being added in.... WP is a great choice.
