Wordpress is not a CMS. It is a Blog platform. Some attempt to use it as a CMS, but it isn't flexible enough. Joomla has an large library of extensions. There are a few gems that can assist immensely for SEO.

You're right, WP isn't built as a CMS but it can function as a simple one. Depends on needs, and for many it's perfectly adequate, and MUCH simpler to use than most CMS out there. And there are certain things WP does, out of the box, 100% easier than Joomla ever did. Search Engine Friendly Urls, for instance, and Standards Compliant Templating (yes, I know about the "new" version's templating, but overrides are cumbersome and awkward, and put too many pieces in too many different places. MUCH harder to troubleshoot.)
When I work with Joomla I curse a lot. Every time I install an extension, it breaks something. So much for that touted "extensibility". And the code bloat is beyond belief. There seems to be no vetting of extensions prior to release on the Joomla site (which amounts to an endorsement.) Anyone can write an extension (and charge money for it. sheesh.) no matter how bad or insecure the code is, and get it posted for download from the Joomla site.
I stand by what I said, there are better CMS out there. Joomla is hampered by its code team's (understandable) insistence on backwards compatibility. Which means that it will never be as flexible as ModX or Drupal or Bricolage or E107, or other CMS being formulated now.
I also understand that there are a lotta Joom fanboyz. You appear to be one of them.
