I have to admit I am always trying to suppress a small hissy fit and the temptation to throw my toys out of my pram as regards the OTW, purely because they decided to write the Archive code in Ruby - a language which I don't like and which many cheaper hosting companies don't support, including my own. I don't want to learn a language which I can't then use on my own site. This has coloured my whole view of them! Mind you, I don't play well with others when it comes to coding so it's probably a good thing I never volunteered.
Also, as a writer the control I want over my work is 100%, so I archive it myself and don't let anyone else get their sticky paws on it, hence a multi-fandom archive is nowhere on my wishlist, so I can only support it in a distant 'that might be useful to other people' sort of way.
I am interested in Dreamwidth. I want to actually see what they are offering though, and then I guess it will be the usual case of waiting and seeing who migrates and who doesn't. Generally when these things come up I assume inertia will win, and so far I have always been right, but fandom has moved before so presumably one day it might again.
