The choice was made for a few reasons:
 * more established
 * larger community
 * great docs
 * experience with the tool for the folk doing the work

These things were all true at the time we started, not sure if we’d do things 
different today - Sue/Garren/Russell should comment further - but I think it 
has resulted in a maintainable code base that we can build on quickly despite 
it being fairly large/complex.  
Cheers
Simon
