Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How many people use printf() in their C++ code ?
I used to use, and still do in a lot of projects, massive custom extension to the whole printf family on Windows with dozen of additional formatting features, Windows::[Err|File|WSA|S]Print[CP][VA].

Compiled logging library suggestion(s)?
The usual recommendation when logging libraries are brought up is spdlog, which is however header-only. It's available on Conan-center.

I want to slightly change the behavior of the std::cout
Typically, you'd use a logging library to handle stuff like this. I personally like spdlog. You use different logger functions (info, warn, error) and depending on what level you have set for the logger (or globally) some of the functions become no-ops. E.g. When not running in verbose mode all spdlog::info() do nothing.
What are some alternatives?
strf - Yet another C++ text formatting library.
glog - C++ implementation of the Google logging module
structured_spdlog - Fast C++ logging library.
Boost.Log - Boost Logging library
easyloggingpp - C++ logging library. It is extremely powerful, extendable, light-weight, fast performing, thread and type safe and consists of many built-in features. It provides ability to write logs in your own customized format. It also provide support for logging your classes, third-party libraries, STL and third-party containers etc.
G3log - G3log is an asynchronous, "crash safe", logger that is easy to use with default logging sinks or you can add your own. G3log is made with plain C++14 (C++11 support up to release 1.3.2) with no external libraries (except gtest used for unit tests). G3log is made to be cross-platform, currently running on OSX, Windows and several Linux distros. See Readme below for details of usage.
plog - Portable, simple and extensible C++ logging library
log4cplus - log4cplus is a simple to use C++ logging API providing thread-safe, flexible, and arbitrarily granular control over log management and configuration. It is modelled after the Java log4j API.
