Is it time to ditch MT? The world, his dog and his friend’s dog are all up in arms because the software company that makes MT wants to charge $60 for it. As a developer myself, I dont begrudge them this money because even developers have to eat. Anyway MT never pretended to be GPL, so why is everybody acting so surprised when the developers want to be paid?

Anyway my problems with MT is that I never liked it in the first place. I only use it because Andy installed it on one of my servers, and it seemed convenient to carry on using it.

My main dislike is that MT is written in Perl/CGI and is therefore not something I feel comfortable hacking around. Furthermore I find the way MT likes to build up it’s pages off-line seems like mid-90’s technology. None of my servers are feeble enough to benefit from this kind of feature.

There seem to be quite a few good PHP based blogging systems out now… what say we try: WordPress… it seems like better software.
