Blogger as a web development platform

I've recently been spending more time exploring what is and isn't possible with blogger and came across an interesting article by a company that is using Blogger as a web development platform for some clients. Some of sites they have developed are quite impressive - they don't have that "blog" feel to them. Given some recent changes to Blogger such as the ability to add some Meta tags via the Blogger interface and the introduction of Dynamic views, it appears that Blogger is moving towards providing a more robust web development environment. I think these changes are beneficial especially for small businesses that want a web presence - most notably because of ease of use and reduced costs.
