Its more of a case of "I want this new feature on my website". Click a button and it's up.

I also think about that if someone using wordpress is spending more time choosing
content versus me always updating code then the wordpress guy may
be the winner since surfers care about content and not about my super slick
hidden revolutionary(but only in my mind) code.
All the updates/patches/etc... that wordpress does on a regular basis is what
I also have to do with my own scripts. That can be a lot of time away from
traffic generation and content selection.
I don't have any illusions that I'm going to produce some code that blows
the surfer away and it can't be duplicated and therefore my super code makes
me the biggest traffic site on the internet. Yeah, that could happen, but I could
just as easily win the powerball lottery for that matter.
I doubt people surf thehun just because of his supper slick TGP script.
