I'm always looking for something better.

... even though I like Radio well enough. Maybe I should look at WordPress. How will it relate to syndication?

MovableType is the Windows of the Personal Publishing World.

Boris Mann suggests that MovableType owes its popularity to its "wide adoption":

Many people agree that OS X or even Linux is a technically superior operating system, but it's still Windows with the lion's share of the market. Much like MT.

I suspect that he is right, too. When I first started blogging on Kairosnews, MT looked to be the best blog software available at the moment freely available for download (although MT is not open source). So it gained wide adoption early on. Today, I suspect that there are many open source alternatives which rarely get the same consideration as MT; most people just go with the flow. That being said, I would probably recommend MT or WordPress (mentioned by Boris) for the average blogger.

Anyway, Boris's post and the attached comments has some interesting discussion about some of the drawbacks of MT.
