My understanding is that Freeswitch can have lots of pieces ripped out
or replaced due to its modular design. Asterisk it's either impossible or very
difficult to actually get rid of things like the dialplan.

performance are mostly moot as asterisk caught up. It's somewhat hard to
get a honest opinion as the asterisk and freeswitch people have a lot of
tension.

Freeswitch is pretty interesting though - I really should spend some time
evaluating it more closely.

Just because you know asterisk well doesn't mean it's always the best
tool for the job.
