This list is primarily targeted at developers, so your reponses are
going to be the same as if you'd asked humans.

In broad strokes
    Evolution : A heavy hitting ultra full featured app.  It will
	call your mother on her birthday, and order flowers for your
	girlfriend.  There is a large team working to make it
	rock solid.  It will also require a fair amount of horse
	power to work comfortably.

    Balsa : Functional and usable for most applications, not as full
	featured, but not as resource hungry.
