Excellent Analysis Jhay, Its really an issue which i had been seeing in the mailer list. They have created some scripts which will copy all your tags to wordpress tags but you are right, how good they work is the main thing. If they have analysed UTW and keep the features same it wil be a boon.

MAN why did they removed the privew window….Now i will never see how it will look before posting

Unfortunately Shari, we would have to wait for WP 2.3 in order to sample WP’s own tagging system.

Would you install UTW now or wait for WP 2.3?

Removing the Preview iframe in WP 2.2 is welcomed update. Even if you’re on hi-speed connection it can really slow things down.

I laughed when I found out about this. I was just about to install UTW and tag my life away. I’ve been meaning to do it since, uhm, 150+ blog entries ago. Yay for procrastinating!

But anyway, you don’t need the UTW hack. You can just import your UTW tags to the new tagging system of WP in the admin area. Admit it, what’s going to be hard is really the emotional thingie, lol.

WP2.2 is gonna break some plugins I’m using. Nothing drastic and important. At least now I have a reason to drop those useless plugins, hehe. What I love about 2.2 is that the Preview iframe is gone and is replaced by just a “View” link. Darn, heaven knows how slowly page loads just because of it.

Call me crazy, but I love WP updates.

to jhay: “Now we have to spend more time maintaining our WP installs and changing major versions every few months or so.” –> That’s what I don’t like. It’s bothersome I don’t know if keeping up with the frequent security releases DO protect us from security vulnerabilities. Something going wrong just keeps popping up every now and then, regardless if your WP install is updated or not.
