I agree.  I'm a week (part time) into building my application with
Cayalyst, and I'm still not anywhere near the functionality I had
with Maypole after a day of hacking.  This isn't because maypole
is more powerful or anything, no as far as I can see Cataylst is far
more mature.  But without a decent CRUD tutorial at least, it's been a
steep learning curve.
