Note: the Rails design works, not because it's a good routing design,
but because of the helper functions (which I prompted Catalyst to
add). You need uri_for() and link_to(), at the very least. Otherwise,
your app becomes too fragile because you're hard-coding these complex
links.

That, in fact, is the reason why Rails works. Yeah, it provides some
neat features. But, it provides the -tools- to makes those features
work for the programmer instead of the other way round. That and the
fact that Rails provides a comprehensive stack that you can swap out
any component within.

Thanks,
Rob
