In my experience I don't perceive that they contend with one another, or that guava improves on the apache libs. Rather, guava complements the apache libs. There are classes and utilities in guava that are not in apache and vice versa.

Therefore, I don't know that you need to switch per se - I would say "use the right tool for the right job".
