I think what Andrew meant is that it's not a good idea to have big pile of different implementations of the same library, and all trying to solve the very same problem.
I'm glad somebody understood what I was trying to get at. I'm not saying that we shouldn't ever have more than one library tackling the same problem. I'm just saying that when people say "we have multiple libraries competing to solve this problem, and that's *great*"... well, not necessarily, no. Obviously there's room for finding out what the best way to solve the problem is, but ultimately the ideal is to end up with one library that solves the problem well, which everybody can use.
