+1. Just to give some of my real experience: 1) I advertised a recent GluonNLP blog and many responses are "This seems nice. So is Gluon a new library to replace MXNet?" 2) We visited customers in a unicorn company who showed interests in MXNet but none of the engineers knew the relationship between GluonNLP/GluonCV and MXNet 3) When integrating MXNet to Horovod and adding examples, I received comments like "What is Gluon? Is it a new library in addition to MXNet?"
Everyone is talking about PyTorch nowadays, but not Caffe2 anymore although the latter is still serving as a backend component. Maybe we should also doubledown on one brand?
