I don't list any of the others because I personally only track one list, OSXFUSE, whilst I know there are quite a few alternatives out there that are better documented elsewhere on this increasingly spam filled list. I'd rather people make their own mind up on which fork to follow as each has their own ethos and objectives.
And a project in a stalled state for three years actively blocking those who wish to make it work on an operating system that is now a couple of months old and for the 64-bit native versions of the prior release of said operating system (2009, around the same era as the last release really) is rather much a PITA. One year? Sure, ok, busy. Two years? Perhaps time to look at things. Three years? Accept you're not going to get back to it and move on or support those who wish to help you out. I don't think forking after trying to recover a project and having a company that prides itself on doing no evil and open source step in the way instead of helping to facilitate the improvement of that open source venture. Realistically the point of this place at the moment is to keep people up and running with the lights on answering the posts directing traffic and to continue to defend that Google didn't maliciously put this software on their computer secret but most likely some other application did it but just never told you or to explain why com.google.macfuse is crashing on their system after upgrading to Lion. Oh and to get spam because that never gets old.
