Possibly ...
It seems that Wordpress is trying to add more features with Buddypress to catch up with Joomla and Drupal.
Drupal is trying UI testing to become easier to use and catch up with Joomla and Wordpress.
Joomla? Trying to do both ... Fingers crossed that 1.6 with have a better UI but also ACL as well.
But we're only looking at searches here, not usage... perhaps there are just more beginners using Wordpress and Joomla?
I like Drupal but its community has given me the impression of elitists. The Drupal folk I have met (mostly service providers) remind me of super-elite political delegates.
In contrast, I have seen a different (albeit healthier) attitude among the Joomla and Wordpress communities.
ACL in Joomla is just around the corner!
Wordpress will never have the great support of the OpenSource community. Joomla totally rocks because developers know that Joomla won't use them for Joomla's profits (because their are none)
It's hilarious that Drupal in their 6th version is working on making Drupal Object Oriented.
Joomla has always been coded as the better option. Wordpress is good for blogging. And Drupal is like the ugly step child. hahaha
Exactly. My suspicion is that this helps keep Drupal in its boutique position. Drupal lacks a vibrant small-business market place currently ... a few commercial template devs, no extension devs. Most of the action is with the service providers.
While I do appreciate Joomla's OO and MVC design, I wouldn't necessarily say that "Joomla has always been coded as the better option." A big problem with Joomla right now is that all of the files have to be located within the web root folder. While this makes it easier to install (and conceptually easier for most) it's not as desirable for security reasons. While I feel we've done a good job of mitigating those security issues, it would be nice to recode so you can place the "engine" outside of your public_html folder. And remember, we've only had reasonable out-of-the-box SEF URLs for two years now; everyone else had them much sooner.

Totally agree about Drupal being mostly service providers. When I talk to Drupal people, they don't quite understand that there's a good segment of the web population out there that actually sets up websites for themselves rather that getting a firm to do it.
I would love the ability to place the Joomla installation outside the web root.
Has anyone thought about implementing this?
I suppose if you were just using the J! library...you could do it...but not the CMS app eh?
I think Wordpress has HUGE community support. More than Joomla perhaps. It's a great example of an Open Source product that has been able to monetize itself as well.
