As far as I know, Geronimo custom assemblies are unique and, in my
opinion a very important feature. The ability to build
fully-configured servers, rather than servers that require a mixture
of deployment, administrative configuration, etc. would seem to be an
advantage.
I agree. There's a link in the 'What's New' portlet on http://wasce.org
site to a short webcast demonstrating how to build custom assemblies.
The webcast is for WAS Community Edition but it's equally applicable to
Geronimo. Here the direct link to the webcast:

Another advantage is the Licensing and openness of Apache projects.
Anyone can join the Geronimo community, and once sufficient karma has
been earned, they' can help drive the community in new directions.
Glassfish and JBoss will be happy to accept any contributions you
might offer. But that's as far as it will go...
