Is publish/subscribe easier to understand? Does it lead to simpler artifacts? Looser coupling? Does it simplify matters of concurrency? One thing to consider is that once you move away from two-party communication relationships toward N-party relationships, you find yourself in a world where multiple parties are having a *conversation* about some topic, usually to accomplish some shared goal. With point-to-point messaging, the conversation is pretty limited, but with pub/sub you can get some interesting synergies by having multiple participants chipping in whenever they have something to say that drives the conversation as a whole forward.
