And I'm a Twisted developer, so I'm even more biased :) Though the overall 
design was not done by me, and was what convinced me to use it in the first 
place.

1) Medusa is working *now*. This is of course the main reason why not to 
switch. I dunno how deeply integrated Zope is with ZServer.

2) Twisted has not hit 1.0 yet. OTOH the core APIs Zope would be using are 
pretty stable and I don't think we are that far from 1.0.

After I get some downsides, I might.
