He is clearly very threatened by WordPress. I guess he should be.

This is not the first one when they completely miss their point... By the way, is funny to read a statement about scalability (digg-proff) in a post about comments, because comments are what makes MT so bad when it comes to scalability. I am moving most MT-powered (since the early days, like 2000) blogs to different platforms (mostly WP), exactly because of the lack of scalability in MT. Come on, having CGI scripts generating HTML files continuously is not what I call scalable. Sure plain static html files may be better than php dynamic generated pages on cheap oversold/overcrowded shared hosting plans where memcached backend and dedicated php opcoding cache are not available, but it's enough to open up comments to vanify this. It takes a simple spam attack, or a huge debate, to bring MT to its knees anyway. How long will they be pushing that prehistoric perl software ? Really this posts from SA’s Anil are so depressing.

Plugin developers are part of the very essence of open source -- the community. Take this community for granted and, well, good luck to you. Yeah, why pick on the plugin developers?
