For what it's worth... I'm not moving to Dreamwidth--it's a good system, but I have no current problems. I'm reading the crossposts eagerly, and am happy to still see them and hope they will continue. I would be sad if DW content never made it to LJ, and I worry a little about that happening.
I tend to comment less (less than my usual low comment rate, that is) at Dreamwidth posts because it does take a few extra steps between "hit button" and "write pithy/caring/interesting comment". On good days, that's two steps, and it doesn't interfere with the...hmm...flow of my response. On bad days, I encounter the same OpenID bug as magdalene1 and it discourages me from commenting entirely.
The difference, for me, is those two extra steps. It's small, yes. That step of login-then-comment isn't present for me in LJ, and I rarely comment anywhere except LJ.

There's my stake on it.
