Why is LJ made of so much Satan?

I don't really want to leave LJ, so why do they have to suck so damn hard. My favorite comms are threatening to mass-exodus over to DW because LJ now has a shitty friends page, and can't seem to keep their service up and running for more than a day at a time, if that. So I am trying to get my shit together over here at DW, in the event I actually have to make the leap.

My primary home is still on LJ, but I will be crossposting a lot of my stuff over here on DW.
