I want a better asterisk or asterisk alternative as much as anyone, but what level of maturity have these projects reached? For all its foibles asterisk has been the best all-around VOIP solution in my experience, so far. Have these other projects caught up with asterisk, maintained their purity, gathered an enthusiastic and helpful user base, and gone through the paces to work out the bugs and security issues? I'm not saying asterisk is perfect, but as it had a considerable head start, in my mind the burden of proof that any of these others are actually better is on you/them.
