My reasons are simpler: PB expects me to build my application to suit it, 
whereas AMP is small enough to insert into an existing application. It does one 
single thing and does it well. Caveat emptor, though, I'm still a Twisted 
newbie—I do understand AMP, but PB is right now way, way over my head.

AMP is symmetric in the same way PB is.  

I like AMP's explicit schemas because they make maintenance and  
documentation easier.  

And I am 98% certain more people are using AMP to interoperate with non-  
Twisted software than are using PB to interoperate with non-Twisted  
software. ;)  

Basically, I think PB tries to do too much and does it on a slightly  
shaky foundation. It is totally possible to build stuff using PB that  
works but in my experience it is a bit easier to do so with AMP and I am  
more comfortable with prospects for making AMP cooler in the future due  
to the simplicity of its implementation compared to the implementation  
of PB (that said, here we are *years* later and I am still waiting for  
good AMP support for streaming data - so it's not all roses over here).
