Hey Andreas.

Having done a little development with Mason under Catalyst, I'd like to
mention that Catalyst seems to solve one of the more negative issues I've
had with Mason, namely the tendency to end up with lots of non-presentation
logic in mason <%init> blocks. Also, with Catalyst as a frontend, you get
more reusability since you can map more actions to the same template.
Autohandlers still work well for presentation, and I feel that's more
natural than using them from auth. All in all, Catalyst makes my Mason
development more pleasant.

Having said that, I'm also quite pleased with the TT, and it's my choice for
private projects at the moment.

Marcus
