Refer to: C-h i g (ccmode)Minor Modes

AFAIU they're broadly similar, but I don't really know.  I wrote
delight so that's what I use.  The alternative at the time was
diminish.el which I found cumbersome and limited to minor modes
(hence writing an alternative), but that's the only comparison I
can make from personal experience.  I've seen the others mentioned
over the years, but I don't use any of them, so I recommend just
checking their documentation.
