I think the comments are becoming a little personal in this post. Thats in one way good as that shows there is a developer attachment(fanboyism :)) to both the platforms.But the fact of the matter is that both Twilio and Tropo are trying to solve the same problem along with many other web to telephone companies.Also,I think Teleku, acquired by Voxeo takes a Twilio kind of approach.
Just to summarize the facts, and in general there is a consensus here:
1.Twilio is easier to get started
2.Tropo has more features
3.Both end up costing around the same.
So I would say, as a developer, just try both the platforms or atleast read through the features and make an informed decision about which platform to go with for your customers as ultimately they are the ones we are trying to service.
