I'm really impressed with radicle v1.0.0-rc4. There is a lot to like; some great ideas, well executed with good engineering, publicity and momentum.
NIP-34 on the other hand, has no usage, little momentum, and really basic tools with jagged edges and confusing interfaces.
I can see why your question arises and here is my answer:
Nostr has fundamentals which set it apart as a superior protocol for code collaboration.
Radicle has had 6+ years, $7m in funding and a team of 12 to mature, create polished experiences and build momentum.
NIP-34 is new and has 1 person full-time alongside a small number of contributors who are focused on other priorities.
With patience and a concerted development effort the features of nostr can shine through and provide an attractive decentralised alternative to github.
From the simplicity of design, existing relay infrastructure, and vibrant development community to the growing userbase and ecosystem of social clients which will notify users and enable them to interact without leaving their app.
I have drafted quite a few more thoughts about what we can learn from Radicle but they must wait for another note on another day.
