Oo, I agree 100% with your view. The exact same thing happened to me when using posterous. It's really cool to start with, but I feel I am not really in control thereafter anymore. So I switched to WP, which I think is the best blogging platform available for your metnioned reasons. The wealth of plugins is simply awesome. Only recently I started using Tumblr and you are right, the design is outstanding. Community seems to be far easier to build as well. I can only say, I won't go back to posterous if there is not a big change in what they are doing. Oh and nice last sentence ;).
