Mena's Corner: Where's the Beef?

It's coming and Mena doesn't want everyone to get over-excited. I continue to be impressed with Six Apart's communication style. I liked this:
Movable Type 3.0 and on will not be the solution for everyone, and that's okay. For some users, TypePad makes more sense. For others, non-Six Apart tools make more sense.
What? Other products may make more sense to some users? Did the CEO really say that?
