Why to use Moose roles ever?

[Victor Porton]

Moose roles have some limitations, such as inability to override a
method in a class which "with"es the role.

But I can use an abstract base class instead of a role.

Are there any real situations where roles are better than base classes?
With examples, please.

I think MooseX::Storage is a nice example: You have some class (with
whatever interitance tree), apply a generic role from CPAN, and bam! you
can serialize your objects. Yes, you could achieve the same effect using
plain old inheritance, but the you'd probably have to use multiple
inheritance, which leads to all kinds of chaos (which of course can be
managed, but why, when roles provide a cleaner solution).
