I used MT for a while and liked it. It’s a good piece of software, and was definitely very advanced for its time, back when it was new. While still using MT for the blog, I started playing around with TextPattern for a few other things. I have to say, TP is the only one I’ve tried that I would consider using for a general site-wide CMS, and even then, ti has some big shortcomings. TP has potential, but IMO, still needs a lot of work. Eventually, though, I made the switch over to a PHP based blog, simply because I know the language much better than I know perl and if I was going to do any customizing or modifications, that was the way to go. I’ve settled on b2evolution (www.be2volution.net) and have been very pleased with it (though they could do a little better at getting the functionality out of the templates and into seperate classes/fucntions of their own).
