Doxygen seems streets ahead of Javadoc as far as features, ease of use, pleasing output etc etc.

Some more recent comparison, for example:

http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2013/04/01/documenting-c-apis-with-doxygen.aspx

Also, tons of extensions have been written for doxygen, indicating an increasing industry support:
See this for example (by Microsoft!) http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/11a30c1c-593b-4399-a702-f23a56dd8548

Yet, despite the apparent preference for doxygen, GitHub would indicate the opposite trend. A search for "doxygen" yields 248 repositories; "javadoc" yields 257!

So, is it all hype?
