I also use Habari and also view myself very much as a user and not a developer as I can't even spell PHP. However, although the relative lack of Habari themes and plugins to choose from is (occasionally) a little frustrating, it does mean you don't waste time experimenting with a vast array of plugins and themes and concentrate on blogging :-) As for moving back to WordPress to concentrate on blogging, I simply could never do that. If you're concentrating on writing more, that means inevitably you will be spending more time in the WP admin interface, specifically 'Write Post'. And it was that monstrosity of a, err, 'user interface' that forced me to migrate to Habari in the first place. The sheer, plain unadulterated beauty of the Habari administration interface and the simple, clean, minimal post composition screen. Interesting.
