New comment by Fellshard in "Unpatched WordPress vulnerability allows code execution for authors"

It's one thing to have periodic vulnerabilities in fairly central technologies that have few alternatives, and whose developers take those vulnerabilities seriously.

It's another to consistently choose a technology that has visibly and consistently thrown security to the wind, leaves its users totally vulnerable, and has no reasonable fixes; especially when far, far more secure alternatives exist.

So no, I don't believe any of those are valid equivalencies. WordPress is not the 'right tool' for any job. And PHP itself is also culpable in similar fashion.
