I've worked with WP in the past and while I'd rather choose something else from the tech perspective as someone who's dealt with clients of small (and large) businesses they just want something that works, and WordPress does.

It's not fancy and you will have to deal with a lot of horrible plugins that clients will want, or their marketing team, however from the product perspective it's an amazing technology - just like any that lasts 20 years in web dev IMO.

This isn't by any chance a defense of WP but before dunking on it think what else can you offer to a small business for the same price and functionalities.
