I originally chose to use LJ because it was free and open source, both of which I approve of. Now, the customizable filters, the versatility of the f'list as an rss aggregator, and its strength as a social networking tool keep me here.
I haven't tried using any of the other major options for blogging, although I'm considering it at the moment. I've used the blog software C. wrote, but it doesn't allow comments (not without a great deal more work on his part).
I really like using LJ, but the casual impression people using other platforms sometimes have of it - not serious - bothers me sometimes. I have a food blog concept I'd like to implement; indecision over platform is actually my major inhibitor right now.
