Thanks a lot for your quick assessment - good to know. We are currently in the early stages of gathering our actual requirements and the consequential predicted licence & support costs of our current "weapons of choice". While I'd certainly love to break our current vendor lock-in with regard to messaging middleware I must admit it's unsure management will follow this line of thought. In a make-or-buy decision management seems to develop a tendency to buy, which is why a ready-to-use AMQP solution might also sound appealing to them. In the end, it'll of course boil down to a consideration of licence & support cost, operational risk and migration cost of existing infrastructure, and an honest and realistic comparison of those. If we decided to build on top of ZeroMQ then I'd like to see kind of an opinionated (well-defined applicability to an intended messaging problem space, not can-do-everything-for-everyone) distributed open source MoM as a result, as an alternative to AMQP brokers, TIB/Rv, WebsphereMQ and the like.
