I really, really like textpattern. In fact, all of the other sites that I have for clients and personal use are all powered by textpattern. From a performance perspective, the value of the wp-cache plugin cannot be understated... Anyhow, I guess it comes down to the best tool for the job. When I need customization and total control, textpattern is the way to go. Unfortunately, is just isn't as "user friendly" as wordpress from a straight up blog perspective. I've actually found over the past couple of weeks, that I really enjoy the wordpress framework. I think there are a lot of ways that it could really be improved upon - however it's simplicity is part of the beauty. Anyhow, I'm not abandoning txp forever - just on this site ;) Thanks for the comments by the way. Thanks Markus, it was a difficult move more me. I really, really like textpattern.

I’ve actually found over the past couple of weeks, that I really enjoy the wordpress framework. I think there are a lot of ways that it could really be improved upon – however it’s simplicity is part of the beauty.

Thanks for the comments by the way.

Can't believe it (Really!!!). Seems like I have to read the two predecessor articles also :) OK, sent the article to del.icio.us and <a href="http://markus-merz.stumbleupon.com/review/15886655/" rel="nofollow">my StumbleUpon blog</a> BECAUSE of the great arguments for Textpattern. And we are not even talking performance... Arghh, one of the best articles why TXP is such a great Blog/CMS platform and you are switching to WordPress. Can’t believe it (Really!!!).
