I still always seem to fall back to Wordpress because the idea is to create content, not play with the software.

Wordpress just works and has an active community and a ton of plug-ins which lets you focus on generating content and not fighting constantly with the tool. There are plenty of inexpensive hosting options for Wordpress, and lots of templates to get moving.

If the goal is to blog, use what is popular and already works so that you are blogging and not constantly focused on the platform. The more time you deal with the platform the less you focus on actually posting which is what is important.

FWIW, I don't particularly like Wordpress, and there are parts I downright despise, but it works and gets the job done.

I completely agree! The point is creating content.

I focus on choosing the "right" platform now so that I wont have to think about it 5 years from now.

I have had horror experiences with Wordpress in the past and that is why I avoid it.
