Right. If I'd have to sort those in order of "completeness" regarding 
the way of working with FLOW3 it would probably be:
  - gimmefive
  - thebridge
  - FLOW3

And TYPO3 4.3 is somewhere in a parellel universe :) It will add some 
concepts as close as possible to how it is done in FLOW3, but it will 
not have Dependency Injection or the persistence layer. So, this will 
make migration easier, but it's not the same. That is also why it can 
run on 5.2, without namespaces - same/similar concepts, different code.
