   And when its setup, its completely ready to start publishing content, unlike other CMSes which you might want to install several plugins and configure them to work correctly. The best example is your WYSIWYG editor, wordpress comes with a very decent editor by default while Joomla's TinyMCE which is far from perfect and Drupal does not come with a editor at all!
