It looks to me like the market already has decided.
NETCONF started in 2002 and was first published as an RFC in 2004.
Now, 12 years later, it is finally being significantly deployed.
(Delay is mostly because converting legacy systems from ad-hoc hand-made
CLI is hard.)

Will it take 10 more years for vendors to deploy ForCES?
Are any vendors shipping it now? If not, how soon?

Ignoring the tool-chains and the history and claiming that both
NETCONF/YANG and ForCES
are at the same level of maturity is not really fair.
