Maturity? Not as mature. Libraries written by the community - surprisingly there are a lot of little/efficient frameworks for MOAI already, like moaigui, Hanappe, and Flower. These are all user-contributed extensions that make working with MOAI even more joyous... But yeah, you'll have to suit up for the task of producing a working MOAI host from sources .. this isn't done for you, it is after all free software and there's nobody to buy a license from ..
