I feel like this didn't get enough attention. Some teams aren't interested in learning how to write a CMS from scratch. They just need an easily-updatable system to get information out.

There's a market out there for both people who can code from "scratch" and people who can customize the heck out of Wordpress/Drupal/other-boxed-CMS. Like many others, this debate has been done a few times, and ultimately it's up to each team's need at that specific time.
