It's not really favored, both are quite useful. xml-rpc is more for when you want two different system to interoperate. ZClient is very zope specific and probably gives you a bit more functionality than xml-rpc (because it has the 'remote object' abstraction).
I don't think ZClient is really Zope specific. At least it's not supposed to be. It does have a richer API, including features like authentication and header support.
The problem I have with ZClient is that the result of method calls is always a string - while with XML-RPC I can get lists/dictionaries/integers, if that's what the method returned. -- Itamar S.T. itamar@maxnm.com Fingerprint = D365 7BE8 B81E 2B18 6534 025E D0E7 92DB E441 411C
