Perhaps that is how you saw it. However you are dramatically wrong. ZeroMQ v4 does full end-to-end encryption, supports protocols like TIPC, and (you knew this but choose to forget it for reasons I never understood) entirely changes how we write multithreaded applications.

The only plausible reason you could disregard the magic of using the same semantics for secure internet messaging and inter-thread messaging is that you don't write applications.

(FWIW, parent commentator more or less co-founded ZeroMQ with the grand-parent commentator; rumcajz left the project and is now working on http://nanomsg.org/.)
I agree that the full end-to-end encryption is an awesome feature, though it is very recent. And I didn't even know about the TIPC support.
