I didn't know that last bit, Bobbie. It does sound like a nightmare for webmasters who like to tinker.
My first (and only, really) brush with MT was back in late 2003. I got as far as installing it and when I tried to actually
design and code a template I nearly pulled my hair out. It sat for about another 4 months until the heavens opened up and sent me WordPress. When I downloaded it and started playing with the template, it made perfect sense to me and the rest was history...
Funny, but true story: one of my clients actually called me out of the blue to thank me for installing WordPress for him. He was guest blogging at another site and it had Movable Type installed and after using the system for a couple weeks, he was ready to get back to his own blog.
