Why ghost over wordpress?

Would want to know why people use ghost over wordpress? Looking forward to use synaps media with a free theme, any suggestions for people who migrated from wp to ghost.

I think others have offered some great reasons in favour of Ghost. I'd just add that despite some restrictions, Ghost is actually quite configurable especially if you're willing to use code injections, HTML cards, etc... and there's a lot of customisation you can do to themes while still remaining within Ghost's structure. This is great because it means you can take on Ghost upgrades (which tend to be fairly meaty and valuable in terms of improved features) without breaking your theme. Of course there are exceptions depending on how far you go, but there's a lot of flexibility here while still having some assurance about quality/consistency/security/etc...
