Do you know other sites that don't use Movable Type? :-)
Not as extensively. :)
But even if we talk about Movable Type... I've seen that WordPress is known much better than MovableType. Gues why. MovableType has much more features than WordPress, however WordPress is better known. Maybe because there are much much more interface translations for WordPress than for MovableType, or maybe because it uses PHP and there are much more PHP programmers.
I won't belabor this thread with a competitive analysis of WordPress' mindshare over MT as the answer to that question is multifaceted. But I will say that the fact that WP is written in PHP has A LOT to do with it. It also has an incredibly liberal commit/patch policy, lending to both the speed of its advancement and negatively to its security; but most importantly to its success in recruiting new developers to the platform.
MovableType is a big success of Perl.
That is great to hear. I am working on a project hopefully that will get the folks from this community perhaps more actively engaged in the development and advancement of MT. I am very proud of MT and remain committed to its success.
