Twisted has always been an "emperor has no clothes" project to me, a project that's no doubt very useful but at the same time seems to revel in its unnecessary complexity (just read its documentation - how many times do you really have to tell us that something might seem overly complicated but is worth it for its flexibility?) I'm honestly glad to see a no-bullshit alternative that doesn't have that same sense of worshipping complexity as a sign of quality.
