Blogging Roller

David Czarnecki responds in detail to some reader comments in my October 2003 Blojsom vs. Roller post. Things have changed a bit in the months since that post. Roller and Blojsom are becoming more alike in terms of features, but the architectures are still very different. Roller is classic database-driven J2EE webapp with the patterns and the frameworks and the associated warts. Blojsom plays off of the extensible and file-system based Bloxsom architecture. Both of these architectures have strengths and weaknesses.
