WP developers/hosters spend a lot of time fighting security vulnerabilities and their server IP being blacklisted (since it's typical for a WP site to be on the same server as 100 other WP sites) - a LOT! And it scares the hell out of the marketing/management people at these events to hear so much conversation about 'How do you guys fight this?' from one dev to the other.*

No other system I know of has something quite like it. If you are talking to Wordpress people then see how they deal with having a development, staging, and production environments and how they promote changes in both content and functionality/theme/config from one to another. Whilst the majority of Wordpress people won't care about issues like that for their little blog, it is a very big issue to bring up for those that decide they want to try and use Wordpress as a full blown CMS.*

False

Users tend to just keep adding more and more plugins to try things out and never remove them, slowing down their site (with the mere existence of those plugins in place.) This is true with Plone too, but not to the same extent, since with WP, installing a new plugin is a simple point-and-click - no restart of any services, usually. Some add-ons don't register specific permissions to be managed from some general security settings dashboard *
