I agree with you on most points, but WordPress is -- and remains -- a security trap. I'd rather go with something less.. exploitable in many cases, such as Drupal or even try TYPO3, but that's a whole different story. Just saying; WordPress isn't the most ideal CMS for a site like Messenger Plus! Live.
Except for that, I agree.
What security exploits are there? If I was worried that my developers couldn't handle a security fix, I'd opt for a license CMS such as ExpressionEngine. That thing is tight.
Edit: Added response to Thor!!
WordPress has a horrible security track record when it comes to security exploits. The problem isn't the open security exploits screaming in your face, but rather how often a security exploit is discovered here and there.
Not to mention that it's horrible performance wise right out of the box.
In the end, that's not what this topic is about, but my personal opinion is that WordPress is for blogging. If you're not going to be blogging and/or that's not what your site's focus is on: don't use WordPress. You can, but I wouldn't. There are more suitable and flexible alternatives with a better foundation.
