I've always used forge and only recently switched to fabric. I guess neoforge is a better version of forge, but what are the main differences between the two? Are they compatible with each other?
What about quilt? I've been told it's compatible with most fabric mods, just smoother, is it true?
I was browsing modrinth the other day and found this mod that was available for all these, I think, loaders. Am I missing something? I'm really confused

Quilt is just Fabric but for 1.13. Except no one uses 1.13
Quilt is basically just fabric. Neoforge is the continuation of forge and should be used instead of forge for any version over 1.20.1. No it’s not compatible with forge unless you are playing version 1.20.1
Spigot/paper/purpur/folia/bukkit/waterfall/velocity are plugin software.
Neoforge is basically the entire forge dev team minus 1 problematic person. From 1.20.4 and above incompatible with forge. Below that, forge mods work on neoforge.
Fabric mods work on quilt. There are very few quilt-exclusive mods though, and I don’t know much about it. I think it was forked from fabric over some drama when the fabric team was letting people be transphobic. It supposedly has better error handling options and dependency stuff.
Most of the other ones are for plugins, not mods. Iirc:
First was bukkit, then spigot, then paper, then folia. Bungeecord forked from spigot as a way of connecting multiple servers together. From that came velocity, then waterfall.
If you are not operating large scale servers. Only ones you should be concerned with neoforge and fabric. Forge is abondened. Quilt is a failed replacement for Fabric. Others are server stuff
You kids and your mod loaders.
Back in my day we had the great self assembling monolith of command blocks!
