Personnel changes a-plenty in the last 7 years, including:
* Dean (founder and TextDrive chap) Allen going off-grid
* Alex Shiels (former developer) departing for Automattic
The software itself is solid. Sure, development is sometimes slow, but the core team is three (smart, busy) people.
Most years, there's a somewhat tense period when the textpattern.com domain comes up for renewal and fingers are crosses that Dean renews it. Happy days.
Fond memories of back then when WordPress was the fancy new kid :P
//edit: apparently they both came out in 2003 - but Textpattern seemed more solid and underdog even back then, even though I can't exactly remember when the Wordpress craze started.
Textpattern was the first CMS that I "got" as a front end guy- after wrangling crap like PHPNuke and FusionPHP or whatever it was a breath of fresh air. Glad to see it's still kicking
