One thing to think about is what is the motivation/incentive for someone to take a specific action. For me personally, I will "star" something that I find interesting AND I think I might forget how to find it again. Example: people might forget the exact name/repo for colors.js so they will be incentivized to star it, but no one will forget "apache". That's why vue might gain more stars than the current dominant players (react and/or angular)
