I'm now actually working on polls, universal categories, and several other bonus features for movabletype.

I have actually become a big fan of Rael Dornfest's Blosxom blogging app. Yeah, it doesn't have all of the features of MT (I even had to change the code a bit to get it working precisely the way I wanted), but I'm a big fan of simplicity :-).

The load time is a big difference when you do not have a server farm at your disposal. That said, I wish it was done in PHP but if their (ben&mena) strength is in Perl and means cranking out the product at a lower cost to us - I'll go along with it. MovableType's hack ability and great tag language are what keep me attached to it.
