I don't dislike Moo in the general sense, but more my (and my perceived) use of it, as it leads often to craete glorified hashes. Most of what Moo faciliates is in the constructor, and most of the tooling of Moo is for creating fancy helpers for constructors. If Perl had "better" parameter parsing, I can imagine Moo not being necessary, especially as Moo creates an accessor for everything even if what I really wanted was a named parameter in the constructor.

Tadeusz put this into words far better than I can in How Moose Made Me a Bad OO Programmer.
