x264 is really amazing because it has an amazing team of knowledgeable people who are personally interested in its success. x265 seems to be just some commercially run open source project and I'm not sure if it will ever make as good use of the spec as x264 does. For a time x265 was only about as good as x264 regarding subjective quality per bit.
