I've done plenty of work with Twisted. My complaint was not that it lacked functionality, my complaint was that the culture of the project favors 'flexibility' over everything else. It's like the C++ of networking libraries. I'm sure there are plenty of times and places where its approach is exactly what you need, but it's just rarely a good fit for what I need.
