Lameness is not an option

I just wanted to try out WordPress since it is -- according to cafelog.com -- the official successor of b2. In their documentation, the WordPress developers promise that everything "is so much better than with b2" and blabla. But when I actually wanted to install it, it only worked partially. Hell, the installation script puked a number of SQL syntax errors! This is not what I expect from a stable release with a 1.x version number. The WordPress developers also claim that the transition from b2 to WordPress would be easy, and they even provide a script that does the whole importing stuff. Or it should do at least. Because it doesn't. Because of SQL syntax errors. Oh, well. rm -rf wordpress. Lameness is not an option. Not even for the WordPress developers.
