In particular I think we overlook the fact that we have great tools (Entity Modeler, WOD editor...) that are basically inexistant or crap in other frameworks (Hibernate eclipse plugin anyone ?). Ironically, even writing predicates with iOS api seems tedious now compared to the Wonder way of writing qualifiers...
That said, there are non-technical considerations (number of jobs, number of developers available, documentation, training, support, licensing...) where WO can't compete... As for contributions to WOnder, I think when some WO experienced dev has a technical need, he should ask the list if someone has already done it and is willing to donate it to WOnder. If yes, the WO dev takes the code and adapts it to WOnder, if no he starts from scratch in his WOnder clone to facilitate future sharing. I think git opens new perspectives to contributing to WOnder.
