If you think one of the many available blogs is too heavyweight, have you considered using a Wiki instead? I'm using the Lion Wiki which has practically no configuration and is very versatile. It also allows commenting as an option.

FlatPress meets most of your requirements, in my experience. I've been using it for a private blog for about a year and a half. Point-by-point:


It was simple to install and reasonably simple to install a theme.
Development seems active (latest update was June 2011 as I type this).
I've not really looked at the code, and don't know PHP that well anyway, so don't feel qualified to address whether it is well-coded.
I find the editor easy to use and (think) it has everything asked for.
I can't address its integration with social networks (like I said, I'm using it privately).
It runs on PHP. No database is used, the blog entries are saved as flat files, but since you say you're doing a small site, I wouldn't expect this to be a problem.

I would recommend Drupal. Using the core system plus selected modules you should be able to build a site that meets your specification
