Because it was designed to be format-agnostic at both input and output stages (via plugin functions), I think it has a good chance of working with the XOXO stuff and other extensions people want to make. Furthermore, it currently publishes all my files, whether they're e-scripts, elisp code, or .org files. >From what I understand, it is not a trivial matter to get Muse publishing other markup formats than the one it was designed around. It's something of an overhaul for the next major version, not a few tweaks. Since muse until recently lacked support for nested bullet lists (which always drove me nuts) I am not holding my breath waiting for Muse to fully support Org files, upload attachments, and format other types of files, the way org-publish does. :-) Whereas, I think org-publish.el is already a "unified" org-mode exporting system. I've never had such an easy time authoring an entire website as when using org.el and org-publish.el, and I can speak from several years experience with planner, emacswiki, and muse. Org-publish.el does not currently support things like LaTeX output, but I have volunteered to work on it.
