WordPress' rise
This week, WordPress gained in visibility with the infusion of $29.5 million into Automattic, the commercial arm of WordPress. One of the investors was The New York Times Company.
From TechCrunch: WordPress was honored twice at this past week’s Crunchies in the categories of “Most Likely to Succeed” and “Best CEO”.
Both WordPress and Moveable Type have large number of users, but WordPress's camp seem more dynamic these days because it has been the underdog, and it was free to both personal and commercial users.

Switching to MT 4
Switched to Moveable Type 4.01 this weekend. The switch went very smooth. Of course it should, since all I did was update a vanilla MT3 site to MT 4.
But this time, it's different. I've been pleased with MT, but now I'm being tempted by WordPress. I've become more familiar with in in recent weeks, and I'm getting to detect some differences and appreciate a few things in WordPress, that I'm not seeing in MT. I don't care to make the switch today, but I'm still evaluating and exploring with MT 4.
