I recently wrote one article on why blogspot will die soon. Can I put a link to the article at WMW (it is available under community building forum)?
The biggest factor is "no community involvement" for blogspot development. They think they can make the things perfect. "Community vs experts", I will always bet my money on community and thats wordpress. I myself had done some plugins for wordpress.
Blogspot is good for phase 1 of blogging as it is simple to start with but not good for second phase which needs advance integration with other products (some will be non-google). Blog is 75% about content and blogger but rest 25% can make some big change. 25% is about integration and promotion.
The problem with wordpress is that it was never accepted as a platform. I have already made the code open source where you can create multi blogs using wordpress as platform (one installation but multi blogs). If I have the permission I can put the link to the complete article.
For free blog hosts you can go for wordpress.com, blogsome.com, hedir.com and many more sites that run wordpress as platform. Ask following questions to the host
1) Why are you providing me a blog free? What will you get from it?
2) How will you help me with marketing?
3) What flexibility I have in editing my blog?
Thanks,
Aji
