Not sure exactly why this was posted today, since spaCy has been around at least a couple years, but - spaCy is a great tool, and I have a ton of respect for Matthew Honnibal, the main developer.
Coincidentally, I wrote a blog post [1] that went up just this morning that, in part, compares spaCy with the other giant in the Python NLP ecosystem, NLTK. TLDR - I think that, right now, the majority of users are better served by spaCy than NLTK.
