I left Drupal for WordPress because:
1. When it breaks, it shatters—as you said
2. WordPress's UI is so much better for clients, in my experience
3. Theming in Drupal was a nightmare — div.class > div.class > div.class
It's such a shame about Drupal. It's so capable, flexible and powerful, but the ui is a tough sell. You can build almost anything with it, but when it comes time to theme and eventually time to hand it off to the client, that's where things got hairy for me.
