My main issue with FreeSwitch is the lack of a Fedora/CentOS RPM in EPEL
or rpmfusion.  Asterisk, however, is simple to install (albeit more
complicated to configure).

I've been a happy Asterisk user since 1.2 (or possibly even 1.0), and
have been using it for ~5-7 years, possibly longer.

I don't use it as a PBX per se, I use it as a concentrator for multiple
incoming telephone trunks.
