I really like the cross posting feature in DW so that all my DW entries are automatically imported into my LJ - this lets me keep in touch with my friends on LJ who haven't migrated and also serves as a back up journal. Once a week I import my LJ journal comments into my DW journal, so that I have all my comments on my DW entry. All my entries originate on DW.
DW is getting more and more lively with each upgrade from LJ, but I haven't encountered one hater (yet). It could be that my username on DW is dragonheart, which makes it harder to find me :). Most of them know me as kytivafan (which I still use on twitter and tumblr).
I think it would be a good idea to at least import your stuff over to DW (it's quick and easy), because while I don't think LJ is going to go anywhere anytime soon, I don't trust them to give us notice as to when it would happen. I could very easily see trying to log on one morning and discovering it no longer exists. Even if you don't actively use DW, it would be a good place to keep your stuff safe in that unlikely event and you could import daily, weekly, monthly - whatever works for you just to keep your journal mirrored on DW. That gives you time to find another forum that makes you comfortable without the fear of losing everything.
