Why is Joomla popular?

I like the idea, cool!

Wordpress and blogspot was also good but joomla is also quite good.

Joomla has a pretty face. Many heads turn when they see Joomla strutting its stuff. After a brief infatuation, the smart ones find that Joomla's elevator doesn't go all the way up, and so move on to a more serious development relationship..

Awesome analysis, I agree 100%
cope with the horrid Drupal disinterface and devote themselves to the way of pain, spending hundreds of hours of digging, wading, and sifting through Drupal.org. Here they will encounter people pushing ultra-pre-release alphas at them, they'll stumble down nested comments looking for buried solutions in the form of tarballs, patchfiles, or plain old cut-and-paste.
