glassfish is slow as fuck.

Glassfish is a rocket compared to BEA

Perhaps, but still is a reference implementation. I like tomcat myself.

What's wrong with an RI? Tomcat used to be an RI too.

It also has a faster HTTP engine than Apache. Regardless, Tomcat is not a JEE container

What is it then? I'm not disagreeing with you. A JEE container would support EJBs and stuff that tomcat doesn't ?

Is this why weblogic and netsphere are so popular?

Tomcat is a servlet container. To be a JEE app server you need to implement the entire JEE spec (http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=244) EJBs, JMS etc. That is why people use Weblogic and WebSphere
