OK, I've read the reasons above and still can't figure it out. For me performance would be my main reason for switching to Joomla, but I don't see any replies stating that performance is better with Joomla. Is it better, or can it be better?
It is better, it can be better, performance is always better, experience is better... hell yeah.. even your coffee then tastes better...
And of course no one in this joomla forum is biassed in any way... all the best reasons to ask your question here.

Joomla requires the most initial care and attention in terms of SEO.
Any CMS, open source or proprietary needs the most care when it comes to SEO.
But basically the initial care in Joomla is touch two or three buttons and rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.
about 5 to 10 seconds of work. Of you go!

Yes and you can also quickly add Joomla extensons tools like for automatically metadata, upload sitemaps etc using extensions like Jsitemap monitoring your SEO/SERP performance
https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/jsitemap/ or EasyFrontendSeo fixing metadata easy that you then can adjust manually for your needs and key word strategy

Don't want to be bad here but this has also to do with the
market share. The difference is quite big and that explains why the number of vulnerabilities discovered is bigger for WordPress.
So to summarize, security is not a reason to pick Joomla over WordPress.
The best thing you can do is evaluate both platforms and choose the one that fits your needs better.
Can you explain scientifically investigated report why this security measures have anything about market share to do? Seems like another used WP propaganda for me again.
So you mean that the larger market share you have the more secure is your core platform bcs of high exploit vulnerabilities security numbers and it has nothing to do with numbers of exploit vulnerabilities in the core software itself?
Meaning that the higher market share you have the higher market share of hackers doing hacking to your platform and are successful hacking your system vulnerabilities and that have to correlate with high market share?
Hight market share = high number of security vulnerabilities discovered bcs more hackers are hacking a more popular used system
I believe that even that would be the case there is no evidence that this is the reason that WP have more reported vulnerabilities over the years than Joomla and on contrary then it would be much safer and have less security vulnerabilities the last 5-6 years bcs of so much identified security vulnerabilities
I get lost here pls explain what you mean.
For me this is a very good and important reason to pick Joomla over WordPress! If you care about security.

Yeah, it's like comparing number of vulnerabilites from Windows and Os X. Windows has a market share of 34%, while Os X just 7%.
I beleive that a hacker would preffer to be as efficient as he can. That's why there are more vulns discovered on the more used platforms.

Discovery of vulnerabilities may be influenced by market share.
Based on a market share indeed one may expect more discoveries in WP.
But the security comes with the reaction to the discoveries.
The rate of responses to vulnerabilities with patches and/or new releases is much higher with J!
That shows responsibility. That is why I trust J! over anything else.
I believe that a hacker would prefer to be as efficient as he can.
Most hackers are not efficient. They are just lazy. If you would check your access logs, you would see a huge amount of automated access attempts with reference to Wordpress. They are not looking for a new vulnerability, they are trying to use a KNOWN vulnerability... one that wasn't patched yet. They are even too lazy to first check if your site actually IS a WP site....
A highly popular CMS like WP with just a little effort in updating therefore becomes vulnerable.
And I like the
https://vel.joomla.org also know vulnerabilities in the extensions created by third parties are being published. This warns me as user and admin, but also is very valuable information for the developers to fix their extensions. Awesome service by the VEL team! Thanks team!

I'm looking to jump from WordPress to Joomla/Drupal as well, it seems Drupal keep boasting about their Security but I guess it's because the market share is smaller, thus % of compromised sites are lower in number.
How does security of Joomla fares against Drupal?

Both are good provided that:
- You use a reliable hosting company
- You take care of security on all levels (Server Operating System, installed server software, CMS, Extensions)
- Get all your software from reliable sources (the original developers)
- Keep all your software (server software, CMS, extensions) up-to-date
- Make sure that you follow the Joomla Security Checklist https://docs.joomla.org/Security_Checklist (Drupal will probably have something similar)
