The number one reason is out extensible content-type system: you're not locked into just having entries and pages. To add a new content type, it's just a matter of adding _one_ line of code to a plugin. Additionally, the publishing interface is completely pluggable so plugins can easily add custom fields. Examples of new content-types we've been able to develop are: events, plugins/themes (for our repository), and podcasts. We're also working on a cool system of sorting out where different content should show up in a theme (ex. put pages in the header, entries and podcasts in the content area, and events in the sidebar) ZATZAi, actually Habari is set up to end up being an even better CMS than WordPress.

ZATZAi, good point. I am conscious that this is a WordPress blog but Habari fascinates me. I must try and get the balance right. I haven't tried Habari's pages yet, but it has them.

Just kidding! I couldn't resist that one. That is admittedly some pretty sweet looking integration they have going there. Habari does look interesting, personally I'd be most interesting in how it performs as a CMS, that what really drew me to Wordpress. That and all the plugins it supports.

Nice screencast. It should also be noted that it's not just Flickr we support: there are plugins for storing files on your own server (standard uploading), Viddler, YouTube, and even last.fm. The Core API makes it very easy to build plugins (which we call silos) that integrate external services. Thanks for the post! Nice screencast.
