Well, whether you use the web interface or not, LiveJournal isn't the greatest content management system.
I'm watching the development of TypePad with fascination: this is the second-generation hosted consumer blog service by the makers of Movable Type. Looks like it's going to be really clean and well-thought-out, with excellent attention to standards and tasteful design, but most people have only seen screenshots so far.
Relative to MT, I'm not sure TypePad is really an upgrade-- I thought of it as more a consumer turnkey version of MT for people who don't want to roll their own hosting. I guess it does have a bunch of interesting new features like the built-in photoblog and such.
I'm considering starting a little volunteer project to produce better-coded, more standards-compliant templates for LiveJournal. (Because 14-year-old girls need web standards too.) But I'd have to become a paying customer first, I think...

On the other hand, it's new and shiny, so I'm pretty sure it's what I want.
