One very real reason is that it has a horrible name. If someone brought this up in a project planning meeting, most of the initial questions would revolve around how to spell it and what it meant, rather than what it does.

Project and product naming is very important, and one reason why something called "The GIMP" will never replace something called "Photoshop" in corporate environments even if they were the exact same program.

The reason no one talks about Qooxdoo is because no one knows how to pronounce it.
