I prefer joomla, because Wordpress is mostly used for CMS purpose but with joomla you can make web applications also.

Well both have their importance and have advantages and disadvantage. Absolutely there is no comparision between them because both CMS have designed for different purposes and goals.

Wordpress was initially desinged for blogging website and it has become well famous due to its simplicity and easy use. Their plugins and theme features gave it really damn good boost. It is so easy to use that a non-technical person can manage its website without having much technical knowledge. Nowadays it is in front of you what it is!

 

Joomla was not only designed for blogging website. It enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. But it requires some technical skills to use it unlike wordpress.

Both Cms are vary from their tracks, Wordpress is especially for blogging, ease of customization and flexibility too. Joomla is user friendly but more complex to develop. Read this comparison. https://www.apptha.com/blog/wordpress-vs-joomla/

After evaluating your needs and looking at what you plan to use your website/blog for, most of the time, WordPress will be the better choice compared to Joomla.

 

In every category, Joomla vs. WordPress shows a clear winner for beginners. This isn’t because WordPress is just far better than Joomla because Joomla fits in certain areas. However, for the beginner, Joomla will take much longer to learn and many beginners will find it confusing.

 

WordPress is a clean and easy system to use. Beginners can get started very quickly and will be able to create a website/blog much faster. If you plan to design and/or manage your site without help, choose WordPress for your CMS needs.

In between joomla and wordpress, i vote for wordpress, because wordpress is more userfriendly as compared to joomla, I am a SEO experts, not so much knowledge about the development and design, but when we optimize the website, we easily implemented the SEO changes in wordpress as compared to Joomla.

Wordpress is the best choice regarding today's web development using CMS. It is customizable as per your need and you can easily develop your own themes and plugins also. The free themes and plugins for different tasks are also available easily. You can configure them easily by available documentation also. While for others like joomla it is difficult to find free extensions and it is not easily customizable and many times problems occur. The look and feel choice is also limited and very much complicated.  Other options like seo and social media integration are also limited and complicated. These things included in joomla and others like drupal have made wordpress popular in today's market and has become the best choice for developers for nearly every kind of web development.

Yeah it totally depends on your requirements, if you are looking to build any small website or blog then WordPress would be the best option. Although, if you want some more functional website which you can customize it easily then, Joomla would suit this kind of projects. With loads of high end Joomla templates anyone can create effective websites on the same.
