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).  Also, ZClient
is much faster i've found, probably due to the marshalling/unmarshalling
necessary for xml-rpc.
