Drupal core developer sun has written up a nice brain-dump of initial impressions of WordPress compared to Drupal, focusing mainly on the feature set, the installation and getting started experience:

Comments
Its Nice and better than any cms (Drupal)
If i start form the design and work understanding ability then drupal understand our problems more than any other cms. It has many modules with can be directly implemented and used even module development is easy. Its having many unique features. Really its unique and easy.
My Experience
Well I have used both Drupal and Wordpress. I love Drupal but i must say wordpress is a little easier and more user friendly. When i first started working with Drupal i was a little overwhelmed but then after reading some books and watching some videos, i started to pick it up. So i guess they are both great content management systems, and similar in some ways but Drupal does take a little more practice but it will pay off in the long run.
I am a web designer from
Kentucky. I have used Drupal for many years now.
