I would look at sitecore. It's still .net, but it is closer to wordpress in that you wouldn't necessarily build a sharepoint in it, but you can build pretty much anything else in it.

Disclaimer, I work on the UX/UI side of a company that focuses solely on sitecore.

I only had a project with Sitecore, v6.5 at the time, and really enjoyed using it.

Just the overall replication of Windows desktop for the backend management UI seemed a bit extreme. :)

Yeah it was a bit odd for me too, coming from PHP and node land. Most of the editing should be done in the experience editor.. which is fairly WYSIWYG in context editing. Concrete5 still does that part of it better. Sitecore has a lot of engagement value scoring and content a/b testing built into it.

Thanks for sharing this, but what exactly does this provide that WP doesn't to justify the cost?

I'm not familiar with the product, but surely leveraging existing expertise has some value.
