Wordpress is much better, however often used in situations where something custom could suit much better.
In the past a lot of mainstream clients would want or use Wordpress for simple business websites. When I can, I convince them to go custom.. just due to maintenance and the fact that if you use any number of plugins you've just introduced a third-party fail-point to your code base.
Easier to extend, but a massive pain to maintain once plugins are involved.
