Depending on the need, it's a viable option. Plus, if you're going to use blogs and services that exists as plugins, then it's a good thing. The only draw back is the follow-up of plugins during infrastructure Wordpress upgrades. You can lose some functionality if you're forced to disable a plugin due to it not being updated to comply with the new release. Because most of my sites are small business sites or sites that use mass marketing, I have to be able to ensure all the required features (plugins, if I'm using a Wordpress custom -site) are functional at all times. That's the only drawback I've seen with Wordpress. Actually, I use Wordpress depending upon the task too. Depending on the need, it’s a viable option.

For example, for http://www.theatredelicatessen.co.uk I actually use wordpress for the templating as they wanted blogs too, so why not use wordpress for everything? For other sites I have been looking for a simple templating framework that doesn't have the smarty pitfalls so I will be looking into TemplateBlocks and Lime:VC.
