I really miss things like being able to select a whole raft of comments with two clicks and Shift. The main problem I have with WP is it's a mess and daunting for new users, which is kinda my business at the moment. So this makes me happy. To be honest I was thinking more about comment moderation.

The main problem I have with WP is it’s a mess and daunting for new users, which is kinda my business at the moment. So this makes me happy.

I prefer MT3 to WP, but I've come to the conclusion that as far as the interface is concerned, I'd take WP over MT4 any day. WP, like MT3, is a bit clunky, but it's functional and gets the job done. MT4 looks very slick, but just doesn't feel right in action. MT4 scores in other areas and I still find its templates easier to work with than WP's, even since they became hellishly complex. “the atrocious user interface for WordPress has always been it’s weak point compared to Movable Type and others”
