Hi Josh I'm also pleased with Mate. I like how they've gone to great lengths to allow views to be framework-agnostic. The dependency-injection that sets up bindings rather than purely injecting values is nifty too. This makes MVP or model adaptors simpler. One downside is a loss of type safety in the event map, but they have good debugging output in the console. Darron Schall just contributed a DelegateInvoker (in the recently released 0.86b) which can be used with methods returning AsyncToken, so I can still have a distinct service layer if I wish.
As for the rest, it's usually singletonitis or boilerplateitis that keeps me away.
