I agree, Typo was at one point pretty lean and mean but now it just seems really heavy, bloated even. I'd like to see better theme support just as a matter of general acceptance (even though I'd probably craft my own regardless). I'm still trying to learn Rails and Typo was a good fit for me at the time. I still make small changes here and there and run with a relative trunk release. Every single time I post to TextDrive though something breaks, keeping me busy for nights on end solving the problem.

Recently I've been interested in RadiantCMS (http://del.icio.us/kheon/radiant) and the more recently, Mephisto (http://del.icio.us/kheon/mephisto ) which has potential.

Competition is a good thing though, it keeps things fresh. In the beginning Typo was the only Rails based blog engine around and has been for sometime (at least I don't know of any others). Now that Rails has been out for awhile more and more options are bound to show up, some better then others.

I was originally attracted to Typo because it wasn't written in PHP.

I'm still open to alternatives, as long as they're not written in PHP.
