I personally felt Tomcat to be in a more appropriate community, that of the Apache Foundation, than Jetty. Also, jetty always has been striving for simplicity and that's really not always what you intend to when you plan an app-server. E.g. features such as the manager or mod_ajp appeared important to me at the time.
Now… it's more of a habit. But the first argument remains to my feelings.
