MovableType 4: angry rant

If you run a blog and use MovableType, you may have considered upgrading to v4, the supposed latest and greatest. Don't. It's crap and I regret ever upgrading, because as far as I can tell there's no way of downgrading.

Let's see, it's much slower, doesn't seem to do much (anything?) new that the old version didn't, and now I have to put up with inexplicable errors like this every so often.

I know it's free for personal use, but that doesn't mean it's beyond criticism. A real shame I can't downgrade because now I'm stuck with it.

PS: I've had to "Publish" the site in MT now about 3 times and this fricking post still isn't appearing.
