[for Pytorch users] Why should one use TensorboardX if torch.utils.tensorboard is available?

Hey guys, great work on developing this repo! It's quite popular and apparently trusted by many people given the number of stars.

I have one important question. Why should one use TensorboardX instead of torch.utils.tensorboard? I see that TensorboardX is tested with pytorch 1.8.1, but right now pytorch 1.10.1 is already available.

It's clear to me that this repo can be used with other DL frameworks which don't have tensorboard integration. That some code bases are already using TensorboardX. But when it comes to development of a new project in pytorch, would you use TensorboardX? If so then why exactly?

Thanks!
