Two posts on Mashable (UK) this week show us why we simply don’t care about the new Moveable Type 4 release. The first, on Thursday, knocked up a neat little list of 30 plugins to tune-up, pimp-up, ad-up or do just about whatever it is you want to do, to your WP posts. Not content with that, the Mashable team wrapped up the series yesterday with an xxl-list: 300 favourite WordPress tools & plugins!

When you take a glance down this list you begin to realise why more people are talking about the possibilities WordPress presents as a complete Content Management System rather than just a blogging platform. It also becomes more blatantly obvious that the choices made by the WordPress team - namely free & open source software - were the right ones to take in this case, as opposed to the likes of Six Apart - Moveable Type, who are now busy brushing up their plugin list and steering the whole (non comercial) package towards open source .

But then, as everybody knows: even a worm can turn.
