DW is what happens when a former LJ programmer uses LJ's open source code to build his own site. All the basic features of LJ are in place, the look and feel is 90% LJ, and my guess is the main appeals are (a) to be part of something new and (b) it's not run from Russia. And some folks had their LJ slash accounts nuked in a rude way, and are still upset months after they were reinstated. I beta tested it because of (a).

I don't usually jump on the "anywhere but LJ, but with LJ codebase" bandwagons, but I had a chance to get in early and grab my name.
