I wish I knew more about Eventlet so I could give a more salient argument
such as "I used it and it worked and I loved it", but without that, I'm
reduced to looking up comparisons on the web, and finding things like this:

Snarkily toned, yes, but he comes to the same conclusion as every other
comparison article I've read.  It could well be that Twisted devotees are
too busy writing awesome systems to defend against the new hotness :)
