When there's two competing technologies, and they're both solving the same problem, I always go with whatever's more popular, unless there's a compelling reason

When there's two competing technologies, and they're both solving the same problem, I always go with whatever's more popular, unless there's a compelling reason not to. This is mainly because of community support and having more companies/developers motivated to rapidly solve challenges that come up, and/or fix bugs. But especially in the AI/LLM era it's even _more_ important to use what's most popular because the LLM will know more about it, and can pull information from vastly more resources, including it's most important "source" of all: The model weights.
