Why a very good PHP framework - Qcodo (or Qcubed - its branch) - is so unpopular?

I am wondering why this framework (QCodo) is almost forgotten and totally unpopular.

I've started using it a few years ago and it is the only thing that keeps me with PHP. Yeah ... its development is stuck (that's why there is now more active branch Qcubed) but it is still very good piece of software.

Its main advantages:

Event driven (something like asp.net) no spaghetti code
Powerful code generation
good ORM
follows DRY
very simple AJAX support
is fun to write

Since then I wanted to be trendy and checked Django but I cannot write normal request-based web application (it just doesn't feel right).

Don't believe? chess.com is written with it and surely there are plenty others.

My 2 questions are:

Have you heard of it (PHP people)?
If you are using it what is your opinion about it (show us examples of your work)

Thanks
