Likely there are use cases for both in the end; feel free to do your own investigation into what each offers. Spiff to me lacked a well defined state machine, was to complex and did not have foundational semantics that taskflow does have (extremely important ones like resumption, reversion and state persistence...). But feel free to make up your own mind, it's a free world after all...
