I answered the question "What choose MT or WP?" , And thought that it must be told to share may prove useful to anyone who has any experience so no other. This is not a recommendation, and in the end not written, what better engine. But this set of distinctive elements that can affect something.
Start with what must have: a lot of choice depends on what tasks you will be dealt with. For hunched not say that one is better, the other worse.
MovableType preferable when it may be necessary to create more than one blog (MT supports multiblog), and if the development process will people not familiar with PHP. Also in MovableType can be static pages of the publication. This reduces the burden on the host and may increase browsing plates "Rebuilding, for example, entry 2 of 2000."
WordPress trapped under one blog templates are based on PHP, and the page is always dynamically generated.
Selecting design templates ready for WordPress enormous.
Panel MovableType somewhat stricter than WordPress. Pro functionality can not answer definitely, but in terms of management of users (separation ability to add articles / publications / editing) WordPress provides a natural system.
The common view today is about: WordPress is the ideal solution for a private blog, in its own hosting. Flexible, easy and convenient. MovableType rather good tool for corporate blogging, both domestic and public.
Incidentally, the MT much more laborious process than WP installation. While hardcore blogger nor any of the other is difficult, but must think about ordinary people, blogs are generally to simplify publishing opportunities come.
Incidentally, MT, in most cases, use-selling product. It also may be influencing factor.
In case of uncertainty in the choice of engine, we recommend using the test to both, and deal with the same tasks in parallel. One cause inconvenience or difficulty before the second. This all and decide.

Despite the fact that WordPress, is intended for blogs very well could
cope with such challenges as CMS (Content Management System) for the
corporate site. Usually it is called content management system software,
in which the documents are more complex logical interrelationships than
in engines for blogs. What is to use WordPress as CMS, creating a site?
The answer is very simple-first, it's free of charge, and secondly, it
surpasses many other free of comfort and ease of use for inexperienced
users. And the ease and simplicity can be a key factor in the selection
system for the site-do not need to teach and train anyone-you can
immediately work with a new site .
In developing decisions based on the WordPress there are two basic
approaches:
One is for experienced connoisseurs of WordPress and PHP. It implies
the formation of their own design templates and content manually, using
existing arsenal functions. This allows to attach absolutely any
structure to a site and pages. The approach we use to develop individual
solutions outside the standard packages. An example of such use is the
site network blogs http://mazoo.net/
The second is also to achieve an effective results, but means the use of
plugins, harvested in abundance by the entuziasts.In fact, each
individual blog is a mixture of "hand" and set filters. The difference
is in the number of a particular type of work

Many bloggers redirected its Syndicate flow to the site FeedBurner to
have more detailed statistics about subscribers to the RSS. My RSS
feed, for example, looks like this:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/a-bishop
To the contents of the site were broadcast in full, in WordPress should include the option "Full Text"
Reading- (Options>> Syndication Feeds) in the panel administrator.
One day, reading the tape of my friends, which is nothing but the
aggregator of the Syndicate flows, I drew attention to the fact that
under certain record there was stated a number of comments to them. I
decided to deal with it and adjust my RSS line in the same way. It
turned out that FeedBurner can really show the number of comments to
your blogs who work at WordPress.
To do this, go to the editing
Syndicate flows (My Feeds), click on "View detailed stats on this feed
(on the number of subscribers), and go to" Optimize. " Next in the list
of services choose "FeedFlare, put the box before" Comments count "and
push " Activate ".
I suggest all users of the WordPress in conjunction with FeedBurner
following my example.
