What's the difference to chokidar? about sane

[amasad]

You can spot some of the differences in the first paragraph.

1. It's not simply an fs.watch wrapper, it supports multiple watch backends -- including and most importantly for us (facebook) -- watchman which is faster and a lot more reliable than chokidar.
2. Doesn't need a native component to work. Chokidar, without fsevents is really buggy and unreliable, try it.
3. I needed a ready event and the maintainer at that time refused to merge my PR paulmillr/chokidar#103
4. Maybe recently chokidar became decent, when I wrote sane, it was very unreliable and buggy . Sane solved real issues for people in the ember-cli, component/duo communities and for us at facebook

we can continue discussing, I'm just closing because it's not actionable. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how/if we can consolidate. But to answer your main question, no, I didn't write this and maintain this because I have time to kill :)
