Movable Type vs Wordpress

All the people who have a blog are talking about the new price scheme from Movable Type, the most used blogging app: Vantan says:

They should remember that Movable Type’s success, however, was based on the fact that it was free, customisable, and one of the most powerful blogging tools in its time. And in this day and age, price is a major factor - especially if there isn’t much to distinguish one product from other free ones in the market.

With the recent re-launch of a new standards-compliant Blogger, and the growing popularity of other weblog software like Textpattern and Wordpress, I think the folks at SixApart have given themselves a run for their money.

And Michael:

The new licensing plan for Movable Type 3.0 is the best thing to happen to WordPress since it forked from b2.

I´ve tested the main blogging tools and choose Wordpress over Movable Type only because my host does not support Perl. I can tell you now that i´ve made an excellent decision!
