I couldn't agree more.

CAT seems like a very efficient and intuitive method for animating, it's just less straightforward and basic than the biped system. At least, that's the way it seems to me. Adding layers and tons of presets is awesome, I just haven't quite become accustomed to them.

However, I do find the CATMotion layers very helpful and awesome. Especially since you can fine tune each keyframe after the animation is generated and tweak all the settings/swatches within the global parameters, like pelvic twist/bend, etc. So very neat!
