I'm staying
After hopping around a bit and trying out different blogging tools I've decided to stay right here.
It's fun to try new solutions and tweak them, push them to their limit and see what they are really made of. Sometimes they turn out to be less than what you expected. Sometimes you fall madly in love. But ultimately it comes down to ease of use and convenience. If you manage to tick all the "I want/I need" boxes with your current tool there's no need to get rid of it.
But in case you or your business are looking for a new blog set up, here are my two cent:
WordPress.org - Superior in every aspect. Matt M knows what he is doing.
WordPress.com - Good, but limited in many ways including template editing, even with the $15 annual credit.
TypePad - Nah. To many issues. Expensive.
MT - Tricky and fidgety.
Blogger - Not terribly exciting but runs smoothly. But make sure you host it yourself.
TextPattern - Very good, but slightly limited. Unless you like plugins.
