Safari
I faced my own challenge, using Safari exclusively for several days. What I missed was Firefox’s plugins, namely ScribeFire (formerly Performancing) and FlashBlock (the Safari version hasn’t been updated yet.). On the good side Safari was faster and crashed less (Second Life has a memory bug). Loved the resizable text fields. There’s a ftp plugin for backing up bookmarks on your server. Basically, if the Safari plugin community steps up, I’m willing to switch.

Movable Type Open Source, or MTOS, is the open source project that will consist of a GPL-licensed version of Movable Type 4.0, to be released in Q3 2007, and resources for the already large community of Movable Type developers, hosted at www.movabletype.org/opensource.
Wow. I am a Wordpress fangirl but Movable Type has always been better for certain kinds of projects. I look forward to seeing where it goes.
