Competitors

[JodieM]

We need to write up what the competitors are and why this component is better than these apps. There are some in this list that are good apps, and there are some that just don't cut it and make your org look ugly.

I have a list in my head of all the ones I've seen. I will try to find them all and add to this discussion.

Bottom line is they are not better (some better for some situations - eg toasts), and they are not owned by the community.
