Experienced designers of XHTML and CSS sites are continuing to make the switch from Movable Type to WordPress. Om Malik has made the switch according to Matt.

It’s obvious to me from the experiments I’ve done thus far that I don’t have the know-how to move my existing sites to any new tool. The design portion of that work, which entails properly modifying XHTML markup, CSS stylesheets and the tags within the weblog templates, requires skills I don’t yet possess. To change a site without that knowledge will essentially cripple it during the trial-and-error of the move.

Being fair to everyone, Movable Type still has stronger documentation than any of the other tools I’ve considered. Properly placing a Movable Type tag within the appropriate XHTML markup and CSS styling remains a challenge in spite of hours in the doc.
