Dreamwidth - anyone else thinking about jumping ship?

I've been checking out Dreamwidth a little lately, and I'm really considering moving over there once it opens up to the public (April 30). Some major pluses are the "reading page" instead of the "friends" list, which has always been reminiscent of grade five girl gangs at best (even just the new name is far better, but it also separates "friends only" access and the things you want to follow into two distinct things- THANK YOU!) and this amazing diversity statement. It seems to take everything that's good about livejournal and fix everything that sucks. As it looks right now, I'll be switching.

Is anyone else considering this?

This is actually the first I've heard of Dreamwidth. It looks interesting, but I probably wouldn't switch.

For one thing, I'm not really unhappy with Livejournal. It may not be perfect, but I haven't had too many complaints about it. I've also got an established network here. I do like the idea of providing something to differentiate between 'someone I follow' and 'someone I'm friends with', but there'd have to be more with Dreamwidth to get me to migrate.

If it turns out to be fantastic and lots of people start migrating, I might consider it, but right now I'm content. :)

I'm mostly happy with livejournal too, but there are some things I'd like to change. I haven't completely decided yet, but I'm seriously considering it.
