Here's where I'm coming from:

My first experience with Twisted was excellent: I needed a web server in
fifteen minutes to do my PyCon presentation, and it Just Worked.

My second experience with Twisted?  Well, I didn't really have one.  My
first experience was Twisted 1.1, and when I tried installing 2.0 on my
Mac (about 1.5 years ago), it just didn't work.  Combined with the
difficulty of using the documentation and the fact that I was in a hurry,
I rejected the Twisted solution.  (My company needed an FTP server that
did a callback every time a file got uploaded -- something that I expect
would be very simple for Twisted.)
