I’m speaking to a class full of fellow students who consider WordPress to be a mangled blog platform repurposed for websites by people who cannot *get with the program.*
They also believe “SEO” is a scam propagated to their spambox and can’t see why they’d want a self-organizing content management system over “drag and drop convenience.” (Personally, I can’t be arsed; let the platform deal with it.)
The chief benefit for *me* is cost – hosting is a whopping $4.95 a month (Veerotech FTW) and no unpleasant surprises – most add-ons are free, and those that are not are a minor one-time payment versus the $325 a year of a premium Wix account.
But what else am I missing? I haven’t looked at Wix in five years; WordPress is cheap and reliable.

Biggest reason for me is you OWN your WP site. 2nd biggest is you can customise virtually anything.
But CMS is a different conversation than drag and drop though. I believe Wix should also have a CMS built in. And you can also design a WP site with drag and drop tools. It’s a weird comparison.
