The philosophy is very different from Catalyst, it's a "full stack"  
framework that makes all the decisions for you.
You "have to" use Jifty::DBI (which happens to be a new version of  
DBIx::SearchBuilder) and HTML::Mason, it is not MVC, you write most  
logic in your Mason templates.

IMO it's interesting, you should at least try it and write here what  
you like and what you don't like, so we can learn from it, and  
improve Catalyst.
There are no features in Jifty that can't be implemented as Catalyst  
plugins. ;)
