See Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs!
Wallets all try to compete for the same limited block space, which means that everybody pays more, and blocks are still full. I think the fee market would work much better if most users choose their fee manually. If you're in a hurry: pay enough! But if you're not in a hurry: don't try to compete with other users.
I usually pay 1 or at most a few satoshi per byte, as most of my transactions are not time critical.
