Trackbacks are an issue. Personally I don't see the use for them and think it's dead as a function - no matter what the blog engine. There are enough blog search services to keep an eye on what people are saying about your site and if people want to get some link lurve then commenting is available. For spammers it's a great service which is why I have trackbacks disabled as a matter of course. You have reminded me that it does need to be easier to navigate articles and comments. If you get a notification of a comment it's actually quite difficult to get to the comment in admin as you are informed of the permalink (site/day/month/year/this-is-a-comment) and not the admin comment link - which would be admin/article/ 1234comments. A few times I've had to search the database for the corresponding article number so I can manually enter the admin url to nuke the comment. You can of course nuke it directly from the site if you're logged in as admin - but sometimes I might just want to edit the comment (trolls or whatever) or gather the IP information for it.
