As I consider moving to ExpressionEngine, I see a race of sorts. The race is between EE's "MT Import" script and MovableType 3.0. The first to win the race will get my vote (at least initially). As I wait, I read articles like this one which push me further from MovableType as my "solution."
I've never liked Perl much, after all. Hell, have a look at my first post ever on this blog.
This blog contains posts, all written by me, and comments, only some of which were written by me.

I'm going to start designing a few client sites with ExpressionEngine and so far I like what I see. Moveable Type simply gets too darn slow if you have a lot of posts on your site. ExpressionEngine is a heck of a lot faster and it is easier to install new modules in the program.
However, I did hear that you can import MT entries to pMachine and then use the pMachine -> ExpressionEngine utility. I haven't verified this from personal use but if that is what's holding you back, you might want to look into it.

Hi Erik,
Did you check out EE's MT Import Utility yet?
