It has been easy to use, with no glitches or errors in my first few months of using it for this purpose.
I like that there's some customization options available if you want them (aside from having multiple themes). But they don't offer much beyond what your average WordPress blog offers out-of-the box. We've used it as our main website but are now looking into alternatives as well since we're still learning how to manage all aspects of a site ourselves rather than have someone else take care of things for us such as hosting/domain management etc..
