My silly and honest answer is: the fact, that I found maildrop first some weeks ago and it seemed very flexible (a feeling of security in a sense, that I won't have "any" impossible thing), but then I came across the mentioned problem and still I haven't learned much about sieve. So, if I have some 50KB of mailfilter rules, which I want to divide across a tree of filter files, each of which can inherit variables from their includers, handle mailinglists, sometimes deliver copies to multiple maildirs, is there a reasonable chance I can do with sieve?
Well, if you have a running maildrip infrastructure, I would not change it.
If you need your users have hack their own, I probably would go with Sieve, because the times I used maildrop most of the users - if touching the script - broke it.
Sieve is more restricted, IMHO, and therefore more save if users hack their own. E.g. you cannot run external programs, which probably is a major security risk. One thing, that Sieve is not able to do, is to deliver to multiple users without re-sending the mail.
