One of the several things I like about DW is the way it can be a hot backup for your LJ presence: with the DW crossposter, you just post there and tell it to crosspost here, and all your future entries are already backed up as you post them, in case anything ever happens to LJ. Or if you wait until the last minute, the DW importer will grab LJ entries and any comments posted to them as of the time DW imports your LJ journal (assuming you're doing that in case LJ dies, not after it already has, of course).
I'm not using the crossposter myself, because I stopped posting full entries to LJ in protest over some of their stupidity, but I did use the importer when I created my DW account, and a fair percentage of the folks I know on DW are using the crossposter to be simultaneously present on LJ and DW. (And through a different mechanism, I crosspost to other sites in case DW ever dies.)
