It seems like Zope has done a dance with Twisted but still
hasn't asked it out on a date. - Paul Everitt

Twisted is amazingly flexible and Pythonic, but that darn
asynchronous event loop makes thread-happy people run in terror.

With Twisted, you don't need threads. You don't want threads. Threads 
are actually harmful: http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/11/18/22112/860

Forget everything you ever learned about wxPython/Twisted integration.
It is no longer relevant. Forget that any of the ugly wxPython+Twisted
Python Cookbook entries, lame wiki examples, twisted.internet.wxreactor,
etc. even exist. - Bob Ippolito, April 2005

The poster sounds new to Twisted, which means that they have at least 2
years worth of regular asynchronous programming ahead of them before they
can make effective and judicious use of shortcuts like deferredGenerator.

...we're trying to leverage this technology shift to make a way for
hackers to get rich writing open source software, without going through
the process of starting a startup. - Glyph Lefkowitz, November 2005

Zope3 feels like a wise granddad with vigour, Django as a bubblegum-
chewing teenager with lots of energy and TurboGears as something in
between. (If Twisted was to get an analogy it'd be Einstein or
someone like that.) - Peter Bengtsson, February 2006

There are maybe 20 people in the world who could make Twisted
do sync/async mapping *really* correctly, and all of them
understand the problem too well to bother to try.
 - Glyph Lefkowitz, February 2006

Most people come to Twisted *precisely because* they want asynchronous 
execution. It's a hard problem, and any reasonably intelligent programmer
quickly discovers that using Twisted is infinitely easier than trying to
cobble together a custom solution. - Darran Edmundson, January 2008

I've used inlineCallbacks to quickly convert someone else's blocking
Python code to async Twisted code, with very little change to the code's
structural flow. The last time I did this, without inlineCallbacks, was
painful, buggy and slow. Anything that helps me unblock code with Twisted
is good. - Justin Warren, January 2008
