All those frameworks have their strengths, but you still have to deal
with that unflexible mess called Java...
The only framework that really impressed me was Ruby-on-Rails. (I've
stolen lots of ideas for Catalyst from it) ;)
> When is Catalyst expected to appear?
It should've been released for a few weeks, but my health problems
slowed everything down a bit. :(
Currently it looks quite finished, only missing pieces are documentation, examples and tests...
You can grab regular snapshots containing a "work in progress" PetStore
application, session/authentication/i18n/formvalidator plugins,
tt2/yaml-rest views and cdbi/plucene models from
http://files.oook.de/Catalyst.tar.gz (testers, reviewers, helpers
welcome!)
It even has a logo! (feel free to make eyecandy buttons of it) =)

Well, AxKit inherits all the bloat related to XML and OpenInteract is
IMHO too huge/complex/unflexible.
