WordPress 2 any good?

I noticed that Merlin has been working on upgrading the 43f site to Word Press 2. I've been holding off on the upgrade for my site until I hear that version 2 is really stable etc, or at least see a 2.1 release.

Has anyone tried WP 2? Merlin, if you're reading this, how has your changeover experience been?

I upgraded my personal site...

I upgraded my personal site (http://www.irelan.net) to WP 2.0 over the weekend and everything went fine. The only real problems I ran into was getting all of my plugins working correctly. Some plugin developers released updates to broken plugins, some didn't.

As Merlin pointed out, the upgrade process should be done carefully. I did a full backup of EVERYTHING and kept it safely gzip'd until I completed the upgrade.

Steve Smith also released an upgrade to his sweet TigerAdmin plugin (which overrides the awful default Admin UI):

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
