From your experience, which is best: Moveable Type or TextPattern?



I have MT installed at the moment (and old version, not 3.1). I need to pick one for a client and build a website using it and I would normally go for MT, but TextPattern looks good...



Any opinions?

    Txp was great, but it too often had the feel of "The is the way Dean does it and you'd just better learn to like it."



    MT is amazing, but when you get more than a few hundred entries, rebuilding is annoying as all hell.



    WP works basically like MT with no rebuilding, better spam controls, and is free. Forever. There's a new version coming out soon which will add tons of features.
