Just to throw in my own experience: for me the application works like a charm. The only "issue" I have is that quite a couple applications are placed in categories where they simply don't belong.

But to everybody experiencing similar issues: I think it has to be stressed that this is NOT a problem of Catorise but rather of where each developer decides to place their own application in.

I didn't try it myself, since I only use well-documented applications that have their own thread here at TMO, myself.

But looking at the author's German website, they have written a very nice tutorial on how to edit the /opt/catorise/menu file in order to get around the misplaced application issue.

I guess CatoriseGUI is just the GUI approach to do the same. Not sure why they didn't announce it yet - maybe because they want to make it more polished before doing so?

In case you want to contact the author, here's their contact details from their website.

Thanks!
I think I already have an idea on how to go about this to let people experience both the comfort of Catorise and the freedom of ApMeFo.

YES! Stupid me, I didn't even think about looking for duplicate .desktop entries.

Once again, thanks so much! Now I can just exclude them in my hildon.menu file in order to make both applications work side by side. So, one no longer has to uninstall Catorise in order to use ApMeFo, making switching between them a matter of just pressing Activate or Deactivate from within ApMeFo.

And it's the final piece to actually make working both of them together something that can be done in one of the versions to come. I'm getting pretty exited now.
