And there are too many competing anonymous coins, so it is dilutive and confusing.

This almost seems like deliberate FUD

Right now DRK and XMR are the only ones getting any real attention. That is not a statement of merit about the others, just that they are so small and obscure, they can't really be confusing any noobs (BBR for example is #49 on coinmarketcap). Honestly even XMR is much less well known than DRK.

BBR is #49 because of deliberate FUD too.

Here is a question for you, anyone in core or anyone for that matter.

We were there since BitMonero was launched by TFT and we all know how we didn't like the reticence, lack of commitment, suspicious association, or not listening to the community regarding name/parameters etc and so Monero was forked. Hypothetically if Boolberry and BitMonero were launched at the same time and we had seen developments in coins up until a certain point before forking, given the developments, updates ,the XMR/BBR arguments amongst a bunch of other things, which code base would the community fork?

Monero would, because it is backed by known members of the community who clearly have no ties to the scam that went before and pervades the cryptonote coin universe. Given the degree of scaminess of the altcoin community generally but especially of cryptonote, that is a huge deal.

I emphasize that does not say anything about technical merit, and in general BBR is technically okay. We could argue the advantages and disadvantages of those items you linked, but most of it has been covered already. But be assured they are not solely advantages as the BBR proponents often claim.

You are confusing "backed by known members of community". That cannot be a selling point for a community that hasn't formed yet and are debating which one to fork based on technical differences alone. The community would have jumped on the basis of PoW and emission alone, let alone the other major advancements so far.
