And it was a pain in the ass... But wait! It was worth it! Thing is, it is much less painful than it was before and put it simply, I love it. It feels powerful and even sexy.
Why Movable Type? It's built for speed: I love the fact that the files are generated and served as static, with fastCGI on, it's blazing fast. The admin interface is cute and since I get the professional version for free... Well...
Awesome :)
