The main differences are simplicity and performance. The performance 
tests show difference by an order of magnitude, in the best case for 
Boost.Statechart. The overall design of Boost.FSM is geared more to 
compile-time code generation, while Boost.Statechart aims to support 
more scaled machines and therefore is geared towards run-time. There is 
a section in the docs that compares the libraries.
