WPA was a significant enhancement over WEP, but as the core components were made so they could be rolled out through firmware upgrades on WEP-enabled devices, they still relied onto exploited elements.
WPA, just like WEP, after being put through proof-of-concept and applied public demonstrations turned out to be pretty vulnerable to intrusion. The attacks that posed the most threat to the protocol were however not the direct ones, but those that were made on Wi-Fi Protected Setup WPS - auxiliary system developed to simplify the linking of devices to modern access points.

Most of the current access points have been supplied with more capable hardware.
Using WPA is also a possibility when your access point regularly experiences high loads and the network speed suffers from the WPA2 usage.
