I have used WordPress(.org) & MoveableType.
Of the two WordPress is by far my favorite. The caching helps it scale nearly as well as MoveableType and there are a lot more themes, a ton of plugins, and a very active community to help with anything you need.
Also WP is written with PHP and is a breeze to setup. MT is Perl and most people who aren't hackers tend to get scared away from the config files.

To be fair to MT, the recent versions have a nice setup wizard. It's still more trouble to install than WordPress, but there are far fewer instances where you're seeing configuration files in Movable Type these days. (But we use WordPress, anyway.)
I use blogger with my own domain. Started the blog as part of a college class, use it more for personal stuff now
Using Chyrp http://chyrp.net/ . Nice open-source tumblelog software. :)
I wrote my own shell script for taking a directory containing posts and rendering my blog.
OurDoings (my own). It started out as a photo-sharing site, but it grew into blogging. It now integrates with Disqus for comments and Technorati for trackbacks. It also integrates with FriendFeed (ff) using a push system that automatically includes thumbnails of photos related to your posts. In this way it's better than letting ff pull from your blog's feed, because media RSS is not yet supported by ff.
Using Wordpress right now (voted for that one) but I'm looking strongly at Mephisto. Written in Rails and has a badass name? Sign me up!
a custom built django application powers photub.com.
Wordpress, but I used MT in the past. I prefer Wordpress due to the amount of nice add-ons, themes, etc that are available.
I wrote my own, but I did end up copying 2 functions from WordPress (wpautop and some kses input stuff).
Angerwhale.
