Blog Engine: .Text vs. DasBlog

What is now the best Blogging Engine? I think it's difficult to decide. Now there are 2 engine that seems the best: .Text and dasBlog. They have some different and common feature that could be resumed as follow:

Unique .Text features:

  • Database backend (SQL Server or MSDE)
  • Multiple Blogs from single install
  • Extensible content pages (“Articles“)
  • Extensible categories for “Articles“ & “Links“

Unique dasBlog features:

  • XML backend
  • Blogroll manager
  • “Mail to Weblog“
  • SMTP notifications
  • User can select skin
  • Installation program (.msi)
  • Many configuration options 

The common feature are:

  • skins/themes
  • RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds
  • traceback and referrals
  • categories
  • comments
  • Web Service access

What is the winner of this contents? Maybe a future engine that combines all these feature?
