The MVC part has moved past planning and is actually done.

It is "informed" by Catalyst in that it can build out some scaffolding for you, if you want.

It's similar to Ruby on Rails in that your Views can be auto-generated for you (or manually written).

The MVC environment is intended to be straightforward and easy to understand, as well as easy to maintain. The Controller logic is automated for you (unless otherwise specified). Your Views are automatic unless you specify otherwise (on a per-View basis).

Multiple-step "wizard" functionality is available out of the box. Form validation is automatic (unless otherwise specified on a per-View basis).

The templating tool is a slightly updated version of Apache::ASP. Updated meaning that you have database-serialized session state and the XMLSubs code has been updated so that your tags can be sub-classed (among other minor improvements).
