See the article (grin). It was mostly due to connection problems. I had to add yet another layer on top of the frameworks I used. Also I effectively had three channels. The two in the websockets and the ajax which I needed for historical reasons. Just an overall feeling of heavy weight compared to the very light SSE.

At this moment, yes. Now that I know you can use SSE with any browser, I'm not sure what advantage there is with websockets. Maybe someone can explain.
