In short, since I just had this discussion yesterday:

TT is language-agnostic, and works well even in languages where whitespace matters.
TT provides heavy customization callbacks at each level of processing
TT has an embedded language that hides the difference between hashes and method calls so dumb hashes can be turned into smart objects later
TT plays well outside mod_perl as a static transformation tool (or even in CGI)
Mason has better "out of the box" caching, but TT has all the right hooks to write your own easily, probably better for real applications anyway
TT permits Embedded Perl to be turned off or on for a given input source, useful in an enviroment where full Perl interface would be dangerous or misleading
embedded TT triggers can be changed to suit the parsed language, and for HTML be selected so as to get into and out of WYSIWYG HTML wranglers without mangling
One customer site I know doing $30M a year is using it and recommended it highly over the other embedded Perl/HTML solutions after doing their own study
