I think a fair criticism of the competition at this point is: Why not just use libsodium/NaCl?

Libsodium is waiting for the outcome of the CAESAR competition to define what primitive will be eventually used by the high-level AEAD and secretstream APIs.

For libhydrogen, I still bet on sponge functions. The day Intel adds keccak-f to their CPUs, all the traditional ciphers and hash functions are dead.

ARM recently made a move. Intel might follow.
