At the moment so many people are switching or want to switch to p.a.ct 
in 4.3, but the situation there is all but stable.

+1 for having a 4.3 release where p.a.ct and p.a.event just works and 
are in and also not completly outdated (preparing for Plone 5) - same 
for plone.app.widgets and the whole ecosystem around dexterity.
