Who wants to spend their time re-inventing the wheel? That said, I dont even know what medium is. Most bloggers are using Wordpress, if you look at the statistics of the web, and for good reasons.
Anyone who's serious about creative control is operating their own blog. I think Twitter and Facebook's biggest contribution to social media will be the eventual resurgence of private blogs and RSS.

- simbalion 10y agoI'll respond by pointing to the example set by Betamax & VHS. Speed isn't everything. Stability and Security are arguably more important. I think there are developer concerns as well, when considering new or alternative languages and platforms. Wordpress is presently king, as it comes to both blogging platforms and CMS. There are many reasons for this, and I doubt it will change anytime soon because it has momentum now as well. WP is built using PHP of course, and I've heard lots of developers say PHP is terrible.
