Oh, the one that's said to be 3000 times slower than HEVC. I'm sure many people would want to encode a single movie for a year.

All the codecs that are actually in use (FLAC, VPn, Opus) are outside jobs moved into the Umbrella afterwards lol.
As for Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Speex, there are tons of users... they're just not shouting it from the rooftops.
For example, games which aren't developed in Unity or XNA (which have their own proprietary formats) overwhelmingly choose Ogg Vorbis for their music and sound effects because it's technically superior to MP3, royalty-free, and they're going to bundle the decoding library either way. (Both indie and big names, such as the .sb0 files in newer Ubisoft games.)
RPG Maker MV also dropped MP3 in favour of Ogg Vorbis.
As for Speex, aside from open-source VoIP stuff, it's also used in Siri, Xbox Live, the U.S. Army's Land Warrior system, Asterisk-based VoIP PBXes, and various other places I don't want to exhaustively list.

The encoder is not optimized at all, there are a ton of optimizations which can be done easily, however i guess the current development is more targeted at getting the bitstream freezed, being nice to hardware devs and meeting compression goals..
I guess we will see 720p30fps 8bit compression in realtime on GPUs in ~1,5 years.. But this is just a guess..

Daala, VP10, and Thor were all different projects to develop a next-gen video codec. The respective organisations decided to unite and bring together the best ideas from all of them to make AV1.

Presumably, Daala would continue their crazy experiments, and Thor with sane experiments that are cheap to encode. Or, they might actually merge! If I'm not mistaken, this was mentioned in IETF100.

Fixed.
