Not me. After attending a few WFC's I came to believe they're for professionals and wanna-be pros.
I find them smaller than a Worldcon, so it's a bit easier to meet up with people -- but I think there is some push to have WFC considered the professional convention, (except run by fen). I like Worldcons a lot, but part of the reason I started going to WFCs in preference when I could only go to one in the early years was that WFC is a shorter con (or was), and it meant I could go for two days, be away from the kids for two days, and still get things done without feeling as if I'd missed every panel and author I might otherwise desperately want to see.
DAW editors go to both, which is why it was a choice between the two; as the kids have gotten older, I try to go to both -- but I had a great time at Confluence this summer.
Have fun! And please return with at least one good rant, okay?
