I've been on the POE mailing list for over a month now, it's sad to see that there is hardly any traffic (by comparison, Python's Twisted, a similar framework, gets around 30 ~ 40 emails per day). I'm a mailing list junkie, believing that the traffic size is a good indication of the following, the support, the community and possibly the future of the technology. I like POE very much, although I've only been using it in one of my projects (and on and off on that), it's really a great framework, making many things easier/cleaner. I always feel its documentation is lacking, if not in content, certainly in organization. So why aren't you using POE? because you're not aware of it? you don't work on that type of project? you want better documentation? ...(POE home is at http://poe.perl.org/)
