For me, it falls into the 'piece of crap' category. I suppose I might have liked it more had it installed, had it been writeen in something other than Java, had the website generated something other than errors when I tried to post the error... Well I’m glad you like it. For me, it falls into the ‘piece of crap’ category.

Looks like they're trying to be clever with MovableType to prevent spammers. Stupid spamroaches... At first, the java thing made me gasp, but it's actually quite well done. Nowhere near as responsive as a "native" app, but definitely usable on my now aging laptop, and the java swing quirks don't get in the way too badly. The app is well worth the quirks. Still, if they decide to write a native version of the app, I'd buy it in a heartbeat :-) Yeah – their website barfed on me when I tried to post a comment, which is why I resorted to a full-blown blog post instead.

Just failing to launch? Anything logged as output? Anything funky on your java classpath? Is it giving any errors? Just failing to launch? Anything logged as output?
