I think the problem is no one has used both of them enough to really understand the differences. Here is my understanding as of now, but I'm not that familiar with Ritz yet. Functionally, they both do basically the same thing: set breakpoints, catch exceptions, step through code, and eval clojure expressions all from within slime.
Ritz also has the nice feature of dissassembling byte codes, which I haven't yet added to swank-cdt. It also has cake support, which swank- cdt doesn't. The real difference is actually architectural, not functional. Swank- cdt is integrated into Technomancy's swank-clojure, while Ritz is a replacement of swank-clojure. Hope that answers more questions than it raises.
