Also important is the extent to which the maintainers are willing and able to change the library to respond to changes in users' needs and expectations. Parsec, for example, seems to have been largely supplanted by Megaparsec because it failed to evolve.
(probably OT) megaparsec has 24 hackage projects depending on it, parsec 816. Some of this 31-to-1 ratio might be explained by folks being slow to adopt new tools, but I bet for 95% of people parsec is fine as it is.
