Ice is classic RPC framework with all its limits and drawbacks. We think
that RPC is wrong abstraction model to create dynamic heterogeneous
systems. The abstraction model of our choice is pure message passing
between "objects" (services), not interfaces, hence the reason we chose
ZeroMQ.

ZeroMQ is not less "finished" than Ice, it's also open source and
documentation is quite solid (although not that fancy). The differences
is "quality" you percept are caused by fact that Ice is "corporate open
source", while ZeroMQ is "community open source". In this regard you
could say that MySQL is more finished product with better documentation
than Firebird.
