It’s about 3 years too late in my opinion, however it is good news for the blogging community… well done to the guys at Six Apart

Honsetly, I tried out MoveableType (and TypePad) and to me, those platforms were superior to Word Press. I always knew exactly what was going to come out when I entered something into the software; that’s not always the case with Word Press.

Cost was the sole reason for choosing Word Press over MT. I’ve grown to learn to work around WP’s quirks, but this move by SA will give me pause to consider a move.

My question is, have they made it more secure? I’ve found several hosting companies that do not allow Movable Type due to security concerns.

I hope the WP dev team looks at MT OS and takes some cues on the Admin section and the multiple blog functionality. Very slick. Not enough to make me switch to MT, but welcome additions to WP.

And I know, WP MU, but too much to deal with for only 10-20 blogs. That MT plugin is nice, just what I would love for WP.

[...] -finalmente- leggo sul blog di Mark Jaquith la buona notizia: anche Six Apart ha deciso di adottare la licenza GPL per Moveable [...]

Yes, it is a Good Thing, but I won’t go back. When I made the jump from MT to WP due to licensing issues, I found that WP was a lot easier to program for and was able to make a couple of plugins, quickly, that I couldn’t have ever done on my own in MT. Maybe that’s changed, too, but I like the ease with which I can manage and maintain and extend my WP blogs. I’m afraid it’s a bit like Adam and Eve in the Garden. Now that I know, I can’t unknow, and life will never be the same again!

Great, thats a good news. I always like MT, SixAparts has been one the l33t developer behind many bloggin revolution “back-then”.

IMO Expression Engine should take this path to.

I knew this day would come

I’m sticking with WordPress nevertheless, but congrats to SA and MT anyway
