One of the ways you can tell if a more difficult package (or programming language for that matter) is worth the effort is to look at the community. TT2 and Cat and DBIC have active communities where answers are readily available on IRC, mailing lists, wiki, blog posts, or here at PM. If a package isn't worth the trouble, it won't be able to attract and retain a dedicated base.

That is a very good point.
