I got asked to set up an online magazine, and we're going to be using
Wordpress 1.5. It's really becoming more of a general CMS with it's
support for "pages" in addition to "blog posts", and the built-in (but
basic) rich-text editor will make it easier for them to make updates.

But, this is generally useful for content-is-king sites, whereas there
seems to be some movement towards functionality-is-king sites, as was
mentioned earlier in the parent thread.
