Ahem, actually it hasn't "much more features", just different ones. The XML is basically some XMLified PDF, and if you know PostScript you know what this means. You can place everything everywhere, but this also means you have a lot of low-level work to do yourself which FOP would do for you. And, I'm not aware that iText does hyphenation and such higher-level tasks. IText is a great tool if you want to reproduce a complex form with few text and a lot of boxes which must be placed at certain positions anyway, or if you have to write a report which is a 300page table with customer names and sales figures. It is less suited for PDFing software manuals.
