Praise for Catalyst

This came to the Catalyst list recently:

In a moment of weakness this afternoon I installed Catalyst 5.33 and started to tinker. Now I understand the excitement surrounding Catalyst.

Having done web development on other platforms and on other tools where the seperation of code/content/style is well achieved (like AxKit/Taglibs/XSP/CSS) a serious lightbulb goes off when my URL/Controller sub (/products/sku123/) doesn't have to be anything related to my view (partview.tt). Wow.

I was a little worried at first looking at the amount of directores there are in the layout of a new Catalyst app, but once you start cooking, development is a breeze. What do you know, making a web app is fun again. :-)

Congrats to the Catalyst team!
