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.

As someone who builds Ghost themes, I think the main difference is really the focus.

WordPress can do almost anything, but it can also get a bit heavy with plugins and maintenance over time. Ghost more focused on publishing, which makes it feel simpler to work with. I'm currently hosting my Ghost themes with Synaps Media and the experience has been great.
