You're right that friendship transcends fandom -- or blogging platform! I suppose one of the big things that's making me dither right now is that if fandom *does* end up migrating en masse to DW, I will probably want to follow, and I'll want to take my journal with me (apparently they have a nice LJ-import tool). But that precludes using my DW journal for much of anything unless I want to blow it all away when/if I move the LJ. It's the whole "syncronizing the laptop with the desktop" problem (currently driving me crazy; I still haven't found a good way to do it, and one of these days I know I'm going to screw up and overwrite the wrong version of a file...).

I also keep thinking about a couple of unsuccessful attempts that I've seen in the past to move a community from one platform to another -- the inevitable result in both cases was that the part of the community that survived the move was only a fraction of the original, and much less active. I'm not sure if that'll happen with DW -- there's a lot of enthusiasm about it in fannish circles -- but I don't really want to repeat the experience I've had in the past of following what I *thought* was the herd, only to find that the herd had scattered along the way.
