What are the WordPress alternatives for Ruby on Rails? How do they compare to WordPress?

There's one scenario where you can use both WordPress and Ruby on Rails. Since ROR is a web application framework, you can create both front-end and back-end with it. You can create a web app with ROR and power the front-end with WordPress.
Django is to Python what Ruby on Rails is to Ruby. If you are looking for an alternative of Ruby, maybe something that works cross-platform, and enables full-stack web development, Python is a good option. If you decide on Python, Django is your go-to framework as it won't require frontend frameworks.
Refinery looks really simple but I don't have an in depth comparison to WordPress. Looks like it has a lot less features but likely easier to maintain and extend upon. It's pretty standard to write really crappy code in the WordPress community.

I've been using WordPress more or less against my will for about two four years now (since I started using other frameworks (I've started to really love WP again)). I think there is no "good Rails alternative". Of course there are a lot of blog engines but none have as many plugins available or are as well known with clients. Let's be honest, WP has a fantastic front-end, clients seem to like that. The reason "we developers" look for Rails alternatives is obviously because Rails developer aren't comfortable with WP. But there's no platform out there that has the same out-of-the-box completeness and user friendliness as WP. For blog-like purposes that is of course.

Publify can be a answer, but I'm not able to compare with WordPress.
