Perhaps we disagree radically about the usefulness of having the source 
code,being able to read it, and the ablility to recompile and rebuild 
the framework yourself.

I googled around with "networking framework" a few times in my life. Who 
are the "big dogs"  when it comes to  networking frameworks. In the past 
I wrote everything myself using raw C++ sockets,  MFC or vanilla 
java.net. I have also been bitten badly by the "big dogs" - having to 
dig through a MSDN "knowledge base" of thousands of "known bugs" before 
I finally discovered that it *could* be fixed with next release. I 
honestly cannot say that Twisted is outclassed in this area, at least I 
can fix the bugs myself.
