Came here to post a similar comment. From the perspective of the user, a Blogger or Wordpress site is far simpler than writing Markdown (in vim, no less!), generating the site, checking it into git, and uploading/pushing to the web server.

Arguing that vim + markdown + static site generator is simpler, and therefore superior to a content management system or blog engine is like arguing that a dirt bike is simpler, and therefore superior to a car. Yes, mechanically, a motorcycle is far simpler than car. But simplicity of implementation leads to complexity of operation, and it's no surprise that most people prefer cars or SUVs for their daily commute, even though the innards of a car are tremendously more complicated than the innards of a dirt bike.
