Nothing beats open source. If you want to grow, give it for free and learn the technology from people. If you have noticed all the softwares that are given as open source has a huge community eg: Linux, Google and many more.
Many have explored Wordpress to its extent, but i would say there is more to learn. Because as far as i have used it, it seems endless.
