I have tried out both WordPress and Movable Type in order to be able to decide myself which one I like the most as a stand-alone publishing platform which I've been planning to switch to for some time already. And I choose Movable Type for a number of reasons.
The main one is that Movable Type allows to run several blogs per installation which is a crucial feature for me as I'm running two blogs, one in English and one in Russian, and I would like to continue that way though centralizing the publishing in one interface. Movable Type is perfect for that whereas WordPress allows one blog per installation.
WordPress has quite bad security track record, something I haven't heard of Movable Type.
Movable Type has built-in OpenID support as well as LiveJournal, Vox and own authentication. I guess such functionality can be added to WordPress using some third-party plug-in but why should I bother when a ready solution already exists?
I liked Movable Type template engine and Movable Type Template Markup Language (MTML) quite much. The built-in template editor with syntax highlighting and shortcuts to various tags with description and included templates list is very handy.
I have test blog up and running so it's about time I say farewell to Blogger and transfer it to the main domain.
