I don't know what fiddling with configuration file and maintenance you are talking about. It took me less than 1 hour to setup my wordpress blog on a vps. Other than the occasional plugin and wordpress update, which literally is just a button press away and take 30 seconds, what other server/blog maintenance you have to do? In the last 3 months, I didn't even log in to my server, it has automatic backup setup and basic security taken care of during initial setup. I spent less than 3 minutes in the last 3 months for occasional plugin updates. If you are talking about customization, than it is not any different than spending time customization blog on someone else's platform. If you don't have 3 minutes in 3 months and 1 hour of initial setup time than you have other problems.
