I came to WordPress from Blogger in 2006; my geek cousin helped me move and set up the site (and hosted it for a while on his own server). Honestly, I was so excited by the new functionality (Categories! Static pages!), learning my way around was pure excitement. And the original version of Blogger had taught me enough about HTML and CSS that I wasn't intimidated by having to hack up those great, WP1.5-era themes. So I've always had a hard time understanding people who try WordPress.com, give up after an hour or two and go fleeing back to Blogger. WTF is their problem?! Everything is so much easier now... but it was never hard.
