Mambo, Joomla, etc - are user centric. Wordpress is much more reader centric.
I think WordPress would make a great article site, for example.
If you need full featured user accounts and a bunch of pre-configured modules, then yeah - a full-blown CMS would be better. For displaying articles and news, WordPress in a CMS format would be just about perfect.
It's simple enough for anyone to post articles.
It's simple enough for almost anyone to install, customize, and use.
It has hundreds of mature plugins for doing everything from SEO optimizations to importing rss feeds to stopping spam to rewriting URLS to.. you get the point.
It creates an RSS feed, and with a simple plugin can create RSS feeds by category.
It has a plugin framework. heh. Extremely extendable.
It has a built-in comments system.
It has a simple user account system for other authors or validated readers, etc.
and on and on.
