After a while, JDA, the library this library was for, was upgrading major versions. Major version bumps entail breaking changes, so JDA-Utilities was going to break. Notably, the much anticipated Slash Commands was soon to be added to JDA, so people were eager for JDA-Utilities to support it. To this day, JDA-Utilities still has no support for it, but it is coming soon[3]. Because of this, Chew took it upon herself to fork the library and add support in herself. Nowadays, JDA-Chewtils has become the recommended fork for users of JDA-Utilities.
