Which begs the question what are the essential characteristics of a blog? I
don't know?
I'm not trying to be a broken record here.
If a simple CMS which uses form text fields and cffile to write and edit is
not a blog. What is?
Where and how it's stored and delivered? (XML/db/file)
The ease by which the user can edit?
What makes blogfusion a blog if a simple CMS is not?

I agree with that completely from the front end. From the back end,
however, I wouldn't call a text editor, Dreamweaver, or a CMS is a "blog".
From a developer's perspective I'd say those three things are "tools that
can be used for blogging", but are not blogging apps by definition.
