The way Erjang is designed goes against some of the core concepts behind Erlang. For example, Erjang shares messages instead of doing a full copy like it's done in Erlang (at least, that's how it worked the last time I checked Erjang). I trust the native Erlang VM a bit more when it comes to stability and usability because it's developed by long time Erlang experts. Erjang, on the other hand, was just an experiment to learn Erlang. Definitely a fun way to do it, but it's still an experiment :-) It sure is a cool future possibility to play with.
