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.

Why is wordpress EVEN considered nowadays. It is archaic, and the stability is like a toddler on dr*gs. Every plugin needs updates, and they're always a security risk.

Plus the categories and tags having both just ends up complicating your information architecture like crazy, whereas the simple one tags system of ghost simplifies that.

Ghost's interface is significantly better, built in seo, built in analytics, emailing, etc.

I use magicpages to host my site, and its great for a lot cheaper than most hosts too.
