Here is my 2 cents worth.

  I had been using the COSMIC environment for about 8 months now.  I am 
quite happy with it and would recommend it to any one interested in 
implementing Parallel /  Dist.  programs.  The following are what I like most :

1.  The system is stable.  

2.  It can be ported to a wide variety of environments.  

3.  Very compact.  New users can learn fast.

Performance wise,  we were able to get good results - so I am happy with it.
