Actually, Michael, it makes perfect sense. I don’t use MarsEdit or any other blogging app. Why should WordPress go ahead and turn on XMLRPC by default even if it is secure? It’s not a service I’m using, it shouldn’t be turned on by default. This is just like the way MS ships Windows with all sorts of services running whereas with Linux and Apple, you start out with the minimal configuration needed and then the user is responsible for enabling additional services.

very surprising thought, well, bug fixes are needed for this

I agree with him, it doesn’t make sense that WordPress would do this. I love all the features that are going to be added to WordPress 2.6 but I wish that they would just take 6-10 months to clear all the bugs out of the software. Nothing that they are adding is really needed, bug fixes are needed, new features aren’t, especially when those new features upset some of the more outspoken members of the WordPerss community.

MarsEdit was created by Brent Simmons, who also created NetNewsWire and later sold that software to Newsgator, where he now works.

Daniel took over development of MarsEdit when it was divested by Simmons & Newsgator.
