I believe it offers all the features mentioned (WP obviously wins on sheer number of plugins) while not being a bloated PHP system and providing beautiful Markdown editor/previewer. Late to the party, huh ;) We also simply wanted to merge the two blog presences to remove confusion. > Yes, that's definitely a good idea. > I hope that we haven't lost you as an author with this move. I have shown the previous system to several people as a state of the art merge of best of old and new technologies... I really liked it to a point where it was pleasant to write blog posts. It boils down to ability to treat the blog text as a text file (like everything else) and being able to use my favourite set of text editing tools on it. I'll see if I can do that with the new setup and there might be some plugins to help, however I had very bad experience when I tried to make WordPress behave reasonably like that few years ago.
