I haven't tried OpenPBX/CallWeaver, so it's not a technical viewpoint.
I suppose it's more a question of trust or confidence. It appeared to me
that Asterisk was forked to OpenPBX in a fit of pique by two or three
individuals. I kept an eye on the OpenPBX website for quite a few months
after the fork, and it appeared to me to quickly stagnate, and didn't
seem to gain any momentum.

In contrast, I found original Asterisk to have a lot of forward momentum
and a large community around it. So I stuck with it, and haven't paid
much attention to OpenPBX/CallWeaver more recently. It certainly seems
much lower-profile than Asterisk.

Cheers
Tony
