I disagree. One of the reasons to choose one library over the other is
the API. The usual reason, in fact. Very rarely have I seen libraries
compete with the same API - slang/ncurses, motif/lesstif are the
exceptions. So, it seems to me, the standard API kills competetion in
the library world.

I see no trend at all, except toward women playing mean and ugly
sociopaths who are good at killing and who enjoy dark powers. Maybe
it's just my friends?
