Having used Drupal a long while back I would have thought that it would be the obvious answer as an alternative to WordPress if that time came.

However with the upheaval and issues that are occurring in the WordPress community at the moment, I have rarely seen anyone online recommend Drupal as an alternative to WordPress.

Both are PHP-based open source content management systems. Both have similar features (though with perhaps a different emphasis).

Why hasn't Drupal benefited, or even been recommended often, when discussing WordPress issues?

Does Drupal just lack the mindshare required to become a feasible alternative?
