Getting more detailed could result in a few separate essays, and if you could focus the context I could just give you one shorter essay. Could you be more specific?

Calls of "help me change this one little thing because I can't do it on my own" have dropped over 72%. Ease of use is everything I thought Snipsnap would be when I originally switched and much more.

With WordPress, the installation is simple and quick, the performance is good, the impact on the server is small, and the storage in mysql is reliable.  I routinely back up the databases, but haven't had an issue.  There's also a larger community around this established product, so between finding plugins and solving issues, I'm very happy.

If you have posts from when that happened, you know what I'm talking about. Sadly, I'm unable to find the reference to it on <a href="http://snipsnap.org/" rel="nofollow">SnipSnap</a>'s site, and I don't think trying to also script that migration inside SnipSnap is worth it. I'll likely just parse the export xml for the old entries I identified in the index by name.
