I certainly think that it has a lot to do with what is most widely implemented, has the better support, and is the easiest to use. The more mainstream library is always going to have the mass of users, while not necessarily being the better library. Next, I think it just comes down to time frames and what the developer knows more about or can more easily adopt and implement.
