De reden is simpel. Dat loggen is wel leuk, maar nog veel leuker is het om met allerlei plugins te spelen, ontwikkelingen te volgen, kortom een up-to-date versie van de software... Overstap

I decided last night that I will probably be moving to WP as well and was so hoping you would put your efforts toward that program! YAY!

I love how the pages are built dynamically versus MT's static pages. Now, obviously, you'll be focusing on tips and tweaks for Wordpress. I can't wait. :) Good choice. :) I actually made the move from Movabletype to Wordpress a few days ago (seemless process by the way, with the help of the MT Import feature) and so far enjoy WP ten times better.

It's open source. I liked the interface better and was able to find my way around quicker. I think I can be more of a help for that CMS. EE was nice... but a little too big and scary. LOL! (Also - while I didn't attempt to import any posts in EE, I'd read about problems other people had. However, WP took no time at all - with NO PROBLEMS at all to import all my posts from scriptygoddess). EE has "already made it" - whereas I'd like to help WP "make it". Don't know if that makes sense at all... In short - there wasn't one thing - it was a bunch of things that made me pick WP. I like who's behind it.

EE has "already made it" – whereas I'd like to help WP "make it". Don't know if that makes sense at all…

I completely agree with you that Matt and the other WP team members all rock :). I don't think you could ask for more hard-working, sincerely nice folks. I'm not sure I agree with you, though, about EE having 'made it.' Personally, I think it's not being positioned very well and may not be adopted as widely as it could be... specifically because it's being marketed as a blog (all the darn templates are bloggy!), but with the features of a lite-CMS tool and a pricetag that's higher than your typical blogger is willing to fork over. So, frankly, I see WP getting more traction over time. But interestingly enough, I'm choosing EE for many of the same reasons you list! ;) I'm tired of tweaking, and I mostly want a plug-'n'-play solution... even if it means having to pay for plugins. I'm also happy about 'big'... since I may be able to replace other components of my sites with EE and not have to worry about integration issues. And lastly, EE supports multiple sites now, whereas WP does not yet do so easily, and since I'm looking to power about 3-4 sites in the near term, this is important to me. Anyway, I really think that people can't go wrong with EE or WP; both have outstanding support, great teams, and so on. And I'm glad that I finally got a kick in the pants to move away from MT. Ah, all of that makes perfect sense!
