I have a considerable amount of experience with ACE, Boost and wxWidgets. I have recently found the POCO libraries. Does anyone have any experience with them and how they compare to ACE, Boost and wxWidgets with regard to performance and reliability?
I am particularly interested in replacing ACE with POCO. I have been unable to get ACE to compile with VS2008 with an x64 target. I mostly use ACE_Task so I think I can replace those with Poco's threads and message queues.
Some other portions of POCO that interest me are the HTTPServer, HTTPClient, and LayeredConfiguration. Those libraries are similiar to libraries in Boost and wxWidgets but I try to limit my use of wxWidgets to GUI components and the comparable Boost libraries are... difficult.
I'm interested in any experience anyone can share about POCO, good or bad.
