Just curious (even though posting it on LJ will skew any sort of "real" results. Though I am hoping to entice some tumblrites to answer also).

I'm thinking about this because I have noticed a lot of LJians migrating to tumblr and it makes me wonder if that's because it offers a more rewarding fandom experience than LJ. For me, it's LJ. I enjoy tumblr but I can (and did!) go days without visiting it, but I can't go a day without checking into LJ.

I consider "rewarding" to mean where you get the most pleasure. Perhaps your "go to" fandom place. The one that is most satisfying as a fandom hangout. The one you feel most at home or perhaps the place you feel you belong.

For me tumblr is a place to look at pretty pictures and get lost in that - no real interaction happening (for me). I only go there once in a while, not really regularly. But I have a look at LJ every day. That's where I actually TALK to people and read fic and commentaries and personal stories and so on.
The tumblr system doesn't really do the trick for me (or maybe I just don't get it).
e.g. I can just comment here and you see all the comments in a nice compact way that you can easy follow and reply to and so on.
On tumblr, I would have to respond by reposting. Others do the same, the discussion gets split up, the responses get lost in the list of <3 posted as well and it requires a lot more clicking and builds a lot more frustration for me if I actually want to follow a discussion, so I usually don't.

Also - although this is a minor point. So many tumblrs I see have really annoying layouts, where you barely find a way to go to the next page and half the space is not used/only showing some background. Things like that tend to get on my nerves very fast.

LJ is home.

*nods* I started to work out how to change my layout etc, but then I lost interest. I make stuff and post it (which I enjoy) but it's hit and miss. Sometimes things take off, more often they don't.

I do like getting lost in things over there sometimes. Just not regularly.
