Movabletype is my first love and it definitely could have done the job easily here for Particletree. We just really liked the price (free!) and wanted try new things.

Anyway, definitely play with both and see what you’re comfortable with … I think the only mistake you could make is not taking them for a test drive.

It does everything we need it to right now, and has not presented any major problems. Kevin has played around a lot with MT, so I’ll let him answer the comparison part.</p> This site is currently running on TextPattern.
