(I voted this weekend from my phone but I wanted to chime in with thoughts!)
I know moving is a pain especially for people who have never been inclined to move to Dreamwidth but I really think the benefits outweigh the hassle in the end. Livejournal has been talking up something new and amazing that they're going to announce soon which makes me very nervous indeed. There is also the fact that they are super responsive and wonderful over at DW, have all the bells and whistles features-wise and their default commenting style didn't make me actually, physicially ill from looking at it for a few hours like the new LJ did. (Yeah, I'm also one of those people, too.)
There are also things like DDoS attacks that don't seem to happen over at DW and which has been a major hindrance for me over the last few months. I only have internet access at work so if LJ is down for 3-4 days in a weekday, I'm screwed for the week.
Obviously, given everything above, I voted for option #4.
Like so many others, I haven't abandoned LJ entirely because so many comms haven't made the move but I'm hoping that they just haven't made the move yet and it's coming. I can't say I won't continue to play here if the comm doesn't move but it would be a much better experience for me if it did and I think generally for everyone else if they gave DW a chance. YMMV, of course.
I'll end with interesting trivia - I learned about ff_land on a comment in someone's journal on Dreamwidth, not on Livejournal.
