I've been watching everyone upgrade and change their blogging software, and I'm trying to decide if I want to join the fray. I've been pretty happy with MT, and the things that I would fix by moving to a different backend might not outweigh the drawbacks of the lack of features in others.
Here's what I really like about MT:
- Easily setup separate blogs
- Plugins
- interfaces to remotely blog
- easily customizable (although I really haven't)
Here's what I'd like changed:
- Perl (I'd like to see php)
- static pages (have to rebuild every time)
- multiple categories
- better Firefox integration
I now have plugins that have stopped the comment spam quite a bit. A great idea that I got from Jeremy was to use mod_rewrite as most comment spammers don't send a refer tag in their HTTP requests. I'm sure they soon will, but I have a few other things that I'd be willing to give a try.
