Okay, here's some of my comparisons in my opinion:
+
+WordPress
+-Good at content
+-Primarily intended for blogging, but can be used as a general purpose CMS
+too.
+-Rather popular
+-Open source
+-Good functionality without addons
+-Easy to use administration interface
+-Some advanced functions depend on theme coding
+
+Drupal
+-Good at organizing content and communities
+-Has no clear intended use.
+-Rather popular
+-Open source
+-Requires a large number of modules to be useful.
+-A little harder to administrate, but rather powerful.
+
+TextPattern
+-Very light, yet rather powerful
+-Primarily intended for blogging, but can be used as a general purpose CMS
+too.
+-Nice article system
+-Open source
+-Admin UI is a little plain and takes some getting used to, but it works
+nicely.
+
+Joomla
+-Rather popular
+-Open source
+-Complete junk in my mind. Avoid at all costs.
