I want to like it for the cleaner architecture, but this site isn't helping me find reasons to do so. The FAQ seems to be the only place that "Why would I want this" is considered, and they evade a real answer. I'm sure the referenced paper supports that it's theoretically cool, but I already believe that. The only concrete benefit I see proposed is that it has a simpler API, but considering that they've punted on name resolution (for now) and async is a WIP, the API seems more complicated than BSD sockets--which everyone has experience with, has support in every language and framework, and has endless learning materials available. For a project whose value depends on a networking effect, I'm not compelled to invest energy in it until they get their marketing act together enough that I think other people might want it too.
