I think at this point it's a bit scattered. Some are using one or the other, and some are using both (for testing purposes, probably).

Jamlib hasn't been touched in what, 30 years? Whereas Smapi is a lot more current, and used in husky sources as well, which would make it a better fit for continuing the code.

I agree with you, however I don't have much say in the matter since I'm not the one coding. ;)
