Of course, that number is not the actual number of sites but the number of pages. Which is not to say that WP hasn’t become wildly popular… using Elise’s simple use index, WP’s index has jumped from 200 to 1200 in the past seven months, while MovableType has only moved up from 357 to 496.
(For comparison, my own favorites of b2evolution moved up from 36 to 130, and pMachine/ExpressionEngine from 84 to 142).
I still don’t understand the attraction of WP, though. Maybe it’s the deceptively simple initial setup: Filippo Diotalevi raved about the 5-minute installation, then got immediately hit with comment spam and spent the next couple of weeks trying to get WP sealed up. It sometimes seems to me that every WP user quickly ends up digging into PHP code to try to deal with some shortcoming or other.
Speaking of shortcomings: I’ve posted a few comments here without logging in, and they all just disappeared. This time I’ve registered and logged in.

I think large part of the popularity is the simplicity to install and the array of available plugins in WordPress.
