Wordpress?

UPDATE: This was originally not posted on main but firewire thinks it should be, let me know

Geeksinside.com is all custom written code. It's been custom for five years and believe me, I feel like I've done 5 years of development on it. Recently I've thought about running GI using Wordpress. This would take a lot of the burden off developing a robust, flexible blog management system and leave more time for building stuff and posting cool things. While I kinda want to switch over to wordpress I kinda feel like it is selling out.

The pros are Wordpress has a TON more features than GI has right now. Like categories, multiple user management, CORRECT CSS, standards valid, optimized for search engines, mod_rewrite for permalinks, RSS and ATOM feeds, dynamic sitemaps, very little code needed, etc, etc. Also, I'm not a graphical guy and Wordpress has some cool/professional styles.

However I fear using a third-party app is going to lock me in and not allow me to do some of the cool stuff I would like to have on the site.

I'm not sure, kinda on the fence here. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
