Speaking from personal experience. I get paid to do deep learning. One of skymind's biggest app areas is text. That being said: I will be benchmarking deeplearning4j's glove with word2vec here soon. Any machine learning algorithm is better when you tune it. I personally like glove due to having less knobs. The mechanics involving document statistics being part of the gradient update is also interesting. I've also messed quite a bit with the distributed representations. I'm not partial to any particular implementation. I'll use what works. That being said, I'm not armchair. I'll be backing this up with my own data as well.
