I have been playing with Maypole for some time. It has it's advantages and disadvantages (quite many disadvantages to be sincere), but there is one thing that makes it distinct from other perl frameworks - it has very nice templates. I found that very usefull.

So here is my thesis: For programmers it is more important that the framework had nice looking templates than that it was perfect programmatically, because as a programmer he can code around the programmaticall deficiencies, but it would take him a huge amount of time to get nice looking templates.
