I originally left off a description because NetworkX is the library for doing graph things in Python and I kind of assumed people would know. While it's not the most performant or cutting edge, it's so well-established that everyone else aims for interface compatibility with it, much like pandas and tabular data.
It's pretty neat that they've decided to leverage this by opening up the backend, allowing more performant/application specific offerings like SNAP or CUgraph to do the heavy lifting.
Not everyone writes Python, and not all Python programmers have heard of this particular library.
The new title is fitting (it specifies what it's a Python library now).
Igraph and graph tool might have something to retort to that. Up until this update, they were far far faster too (and still likely are if you ignore the ability in this update to specify different backends)
