I have already given my notice that this blog is going to be running under Wordpress at some point in the future but finding the right developer and programmer to make some of the custom code we have running underneath needs to be done first.
But I wonder if there is a way to compare the number of MT Blogs and WP blogs and track the numbers over the past 6 months to see what the abandonment rate is for MT. I have yet to talk to Anil Dash on the phone as I just have not had time but maybe Six Apart needs to take the advise that was given in a open letter today that it may be time for Six Apart to give MT to the open source community so that rapid fire development can begin again.
TypePad is their crown jewel that is making them money. It is obvious by there actions that MT has become the sucking pig that is taking away financial resources. So how about Six Apart make MT open source so we can at least know what the heck is being planned, and have some interactive input.
Because for a blogging company you all sure don't blog very much. [Open Letter to SixApart]

I've always been impressed with the elegance of WordPress's design and the passion of its supporters. I also like the fact that it is open source and free. However, I am NOT going to go fixing my internal links a fifth time, so I'll be sticking with MT, thankyouverymuch.
But I don't get the pressing desire to push the upgrading speed of Movable Type, other than a desire for a new car smell. MT 3.2 does everything I need it to do and it's very stable. Yes, I agree that MT hasn't upgraded as fast as other programs, but that might not be a bad thing.
I have to ask, what are the pressing issues or features that you think should be added? Given that Movable Type is about to open its 3.3 Beta in the next couple of weeks, now may be the time to tell them what you want.
