There are many functionally perfect substitutes, unfortunately the WordPress value proposition is actually it's ecosystem of plugins, developers and advocacy of it's users.
We've all met the client who wants WP and nothing else. And there are countless times we've rolled a clean new solution out, but the client goes back to WP.
I have seen value in hybrid approaches, a custom app written in some other framework for complex requirements, and a WP instance and connector for content, so the client is comfortable.
