1. Boost has better design (I love ASIO API, but I hate compilation times and bloat)
ABI issues aside and not to step on anyone foots, but I personally would never use ASIO in my production code regardless how cool API is. There is no reason for the networking library to be implemented in headers (I myself developed 3 different async IO libraries for different companies, so I do have experience in this domain). I pretty sure you can have the same API with 99% of implementation hidden offline. Gennadiy
