I approve this summary. :)

"interop" means that Moo can subclass Moose classes and vice-versa.  And
Moo can consume Moose roles and (I think) vice-versa.  Mouse and Moose
have incompatible meta systems and don't talk to each other.

I'd also say that of the three of them, Moo is being the most rapidly
developed at the moment, in part because it has a lot of catching up to
do.  Mouse is a strict subset of Moose and focuses on bugs, Moose
compatibility and speed.
