Why does Movable Type have such a large community and following, but they lack in the style repositories that Wordpress has? I just upgraded one of my other blog sites to Wordpress 2.6 and after 15 minutes of browsing dozens if not hundreds of really nice themes, I had picked out a new one and had everything upgraded.
Now I like Movable Type for its customization, and having full control over the template and content. I like how the template structure and the styles are separate in MT, one of my biggest gripes about WP is that unless you're an uber coder you can't customize the themes very easily.
But still, you would think that there are more than a handful of nice styles to use as starting points with MT. I know Mike over at http://www.codemonkeyramblings.com/themes/ has done a good job of converting some WP themes to styles. And while it's a good start, the MT community is still lacking.
Maybe I'm just doomed to make my own from scratch, and then not share it with the community out of spite like everyone else?
