[support] Another Drupal vs WordPress question

[Drupal]

Low to no budget websites (small nonprofits); no shopping carts but eventually PayPal Donation button; one editor role (small chance for 2-3 different editor roles) to maintain the content; 

Also, just realized: theming factor is kinda important too, easy to build custom theme. Somewhere I read that WP has hundred times more free themes than Drupal so there is bigger chance to select one and use it out of box while with Drupal there is more chance to need some custom work.

I use Drupal for almost 6 years but, still, I would put myself to "higher beginner" level. 90% of my websites are small, simple, intro websites I built for friends and "clients". Mostly with News, Basic, Events/Calendar, Webform, Forum... content types. Pretty standard. 
>> So, my question is "When is Drupal to big for a website?" When would WP fit better? Or even when would home-made-code fit better? Where is "the line" you step over and have to use Drupal? If a small nonprofit asks you to build small website with some basic stuff, for free if possible, would you still build it on Drupal?
