And then there's emacs vs vi (resp. your-emacs-clone vs my-vi-clone) postgres vs mysql your-web-browser vs my-web-browser yadda yadda yadda. You have to leave some room for personal preference. If any one of these projects were clearly superior to their competitors by every measure, the competitors would be dead. They aren't, and they aren't. I think Fedora Core can afford to prefer "best of breed" projects for inclusion, but that is not the same as saying "there can be only one". That way leads to pissing off a lot of people you shouldn't have pissed off ... regards, tom lane
