I had to use WP professionally a lot of times, even though I didn't or don't like it.
Last year, I started using a Restful API WP plugin and find that Wordpress is actually really good. Specially because there's so many interesting plugins for it and I don't see any other CMS that have that amount of features available for free and specially being able to customize it quite easily and fast - by reading a few lines on the docs, etc.
I think that services like prismic.io are good, would solve my problems a few years ago, but now, Wordpress + Restful API Plugin + Angularjs and I'm done!
There is really a need for a simple cms out there. I really prefer the selft hosted open source solution. There is quite a market of client that need only minimal manageability, where wordpress/joomla/typo3 is way too much for what they need. I was reading about Cloud Cannon service too that offer something similar, but again the paid service, we own your data, is somewhat less interesting. Looking forward for a minimal self hosted open source node.js/json cms in the near future ;)
