> The author states the problem himself: Wordpress is a blogging platform that people are trying to turn into a full blown CMS.

Trying and succeeding.

Pressbooks, book publishing engine on top of WordPress (selfhosted & Saasversion)

Woocommerce ecommerce with 600k+ downloads (selfhosted & Saas version)

WP e-Commerce, 2 million+ downloads

BuddyPress, equips WP with social network features 1.4+million downloads

P2 Theme, quick community messaging almost 350k downloads

Collabpress, project and task management solution 36k downloads

bbPress, complete forum package, half a million downloads.

S2Member, Wishlist, DAP, MagicMembers, WP Member are among many other membership site solutions, >1 million downloads

Pods, Toolset and other solutions that extend its CMS capabilities, easily 200k+ downloads.

EditFlow, adds professional editorial workflow experience, 50k+ downloads

Fundify, Ignition Deck, crowdfunding solutions on WordPress.

And look in the wild, sites running WordPress: Real estate sites, agencies, hotel sites (there's a WP saas for that now too), restaurant sites (Happy tables), auction sites, market place sites, portfolio sites, photo gallery sites, governmental sites, membership sites, marketing sites equipped with landing pages etc, news sites, online magazines, Event sites and more.

Just a blogging tool, I see. Do continue to look away as it is only going to get worse (in your eyes).
