I think human beings are resistant to change, period. (The term "glove compartment" f.ex. is a holdover from 100 years ago, even though no one puts gloves in them anymore! and remember the Susan B Anthony and Sacajewa dollar coins? Of course, if the government hadn't made them look and feel EXACTLY like quarters people might have actually used them. *lol*)
I did set up the DW account because Snowpuppies recommended it. I find for myself, it doesn't work so well with my ADD and distractability to try to manage two accounts, then have two sets of comments to answer, to groups of "readership/audience" to try and build and so forth. And cross-posting from DW to LJ was never as easy as it was supposed to be but I guess I didn't take the time to master it. (I'm not lazy and impatient, nope, not me.)
I've seen people complain about how there isn't any [insert pairing here] fic written anymore, and then when I've recced stories on AO3, they've have told me that they only read fic on LJ. And I just don't see the point of it.
People are strange. (Keep in mind I came into fandom via moulin rouge on ff.net and various sites ten+ years ago, so I guess I'm familiar with the idea that not everything is in one place. ff.net was the ONLY place to go for mr fic, then you needed another site for general discussion etc.)
