I hand coded my own for a while. I moved to Word Press to try to spend more time producing content, less time fussing with the back end. I later moved on to BlogSpot (aka Blogger) to spend even less time fussing with the back end. It may not be hard to code up a website, but keeping all the code up to date as the world moves forward and staying on top of security issues etc... Yeesh. If you are a professional programmer and this helps you develop your craft, coolios. But if you really just want to blog or produce other content, it can be just overkill.
