IMHO famo.us seems more oriented toward taking over the whole app and providing a view-level API, where velocity is more for animating page DOM elements? For some basic things like delay: the velocity API [1] seems a lot simpler than the equiv [2] with famo.us, whereas famous has things like a "Grid" or ScrollView out of the box.
