Hello!

I’ve been using the OptimizationBBO.jl recently.

In [the GitHub page](https://github.com/SciML/Optimization.jl/blob/master/docs/src/optimization_packages/blackboxoptim.md), it is stated that

> The recommended optimizer is BBO\_adaptive\_de\_rand\_1\_bin\_radiuslimited()

May I know why this is the case? On what basis is this particular optimizer recommended over others, be it within the DE category or across all categories?

The motivation likely comes from here, under `guide-to-selecting-an-optimizer`
