I don't see it as a competition. TFP controls the file formats and a great many features with which a player-made map generator (manual effort and/or automation) must comply if the game is to function. I see TFP's RWG as a pretty substantial baseline. Many people, I'll assert "the majority" (my opinion), will not feel the need to seek out an alternative, but Teragon is quite notable in its features and rewarding in its results for those who choose to explore it.
