This has proved invaluable on some of my sites. Although my main blog uses Textpattern, I will be migrating it over to WP in the near future. Hope this helps. @Stewart & Sam: If you’re finding spam a problem, maybe you should try an excellent plugin called Spam Karma2, by Dr. Dave. This has proved invaluable on some of my sites.

WordPress is isn't perfect but for what I wanted to do it's the right tool for the job. I think if I was going to create my own blogging system again I would first think about which language to write it in before worrying about how to write it. I am really looking forward to trying out <a href="http://rubyonrails.org" rel="nofollow">Ruby on Rails</a> because as I programmer I like the sound of it's more rigid structure. I am also tempted to look at <a href="http://www.djangoproject.com/" rel="nofollow">Django</a> and make a comparison of the two. There is something I am beginning to hate about PHP in how it lets you get away with so much that it's almost encouraging you to write bad code! In any case now that I am using WordPress I will probably have the time to look into Ruby and Django! Interesting thoughts there Ismael.

I use it on my own site but am working on a custom solution that -I hope- will make me happier. Maybe you could share a bit more on how you implemented yours?
