I'll admit it. I'm impress by eye candy and clean css design. I like
that stuff. But if I wanted a completely solution, click once, run one
script and everything is generated out of the box eye candy solution, I
wouldn't use Catalyst.

I personally don't think that Catalyst should concern itself with the
WoW factor. It's not a competition with RoR and Django. The right tools
for the right job. That's just me. I would not want Catalyst to get
bloated down with fancy admin pages, and css, and eye candy. It's a
frmaework, not a final solution to anything.

I could be wrong. :-)
