I would also say that on the web, the user experience is with the client software not with the geoserver backend. Backends like geoserver should be invisible. Our PBE application interacts with arcgis, and really any WMS/WFS server, as well as other kinds of data source (eg TMS). Theoretically it should only be possible to tell whether webmapping is going to geoserver by careful examinations of URLs in the net traffic. If you are trying to decide what backend to use, then the issues have to be performance, stability, support, and standard conformance. Client-side software can be independent of that choice.
