I started using boost regex a few years ago after carefully comparing a number of C++ regex packages. It turns out I picked a pretty good one ;-) But it would have been a more obvious choice if there had been quotes from Meyers and Stroustrup on the homepage (I'm not sure I knew who Herb Sutter was back then).
What about comparing boost to competitors? There are a lot of thread incapsulations, a lot of RegEx libraries etc. If you found a detailed technical comparison, would you read it? From one side, when I'm looking for a new library, I'd like to find a compact overview when several competitors are compared. It saves a lot of time. From other side, "feature comparison charts" are so offten used for pure marketing stuff... Andrey
