We've been very lucky to have several developers interested in adding code to solve the problem. Sometimes people start by forking from existing code, working a bit on it, then publishing the fork for comments. Sometimes people like to give their fork their own name, I think that's fine and we shouldn't worry to much about it.
As far as I can see, everybody talks to each other and people is keen on contributing, which is the most important factor. Bumblebee/stable seems to be the easiest to install and use. There wasn't an integrated bumblebee with power management solution a while ago, and ironhide filled that gap. Now the hope is on bumblebeev3.0/bbswitch to become easy to install, stable and feature-full.
