 * Let me be the millionth person to request this.
 * I am sick of having to update URL’s in the databases for all of my sites every
   time I move them from local to live, or from anywhere to anywhere else.
 * Please sort this out so WordPress can finally compete with Drupal et al on a 
   more even footing.

 * This should make quick work of updating the URLs in the database: [http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/](http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/)
 * Btw, what do you mean when WordPress can finally compete with Drupal or other
   CMSs?

 * Ahaa, I was just saying that to get a rise, I love WordPress, but it does still
   feel like it’s targeted more towards bloggers than developers at times.
 * Do those stats that you cite take into account the millions of hosted wordpress
   blogs? I don’t think these count, from a developers point of view.
 * I can and do use that script, it’s excellent, but still adds several extra and
   unnecessary steps to perform when moving a site, fine if you only do one a week,
   but if you do several a day it’s a total pain in the arse and seems to me to 
   be entirely unnecessary.
