WordPress and Blogger are just the same as long as you trust in the deplorable free WordPress hosting service.
To get the most from WP, it's necessary install it yourself on your own hosting space to get full control over it and avoid that WordPress delete a blog that has taken time and effort to build up for no reason at all. In this matter, at least blogger doesn't delete blogs for no reason.
Now, I believe WordPress is over-estimated, it's a good script but not one of the seven wonders. It's popularity mostly resides in the fact that it was created with the lazy webmaster in mind (its famous 5 minutes installation) and obviously this blog publishing platform benefited from developers and designers that have created countless plugins and themes.
However there are other options that may be used with advantage, in example custom coding. This way you avoid to be "just one of the crowd," easily identifiable by the WP prefix that WordPress coders deliberately put into their coding files and directories prefixes.
They said this is done to keep "consistency" but if you look behind, their real intentions were gain the power they actually have by branding all sites that use WordPress in their own favor, thus the reason the code is free.
