Why aren't these more popular (Myghty & Pylons)?

I've been browsing what Python has to offer in the world of web
programming for past few weeks, while preparing to select something for
small, quick and dirty projects where my favorable solution, Zope3, is an
overkill.

There sure are handfull of solutions out there, but I didn't quite like
any of them, starting from those with more of a framework approach (TG,
Django, ...), and ending with really small ones, like Karrigell and Webpy.
Ofourse, I haven't tested each and everyone, but I've read a lot of docs,
and even more examples (Btw, those TG screencasts are really awesome for
introduction), and found nothing that 'fits my brain' :).

But, reading some old posts on c.l.py I found out about Myghty
(http://www.myghty.org), and by reading the docs and examples, I came to
like it. First of all, it's built with HTML::Mason as a role model, and
although I haven't worked with Mason first hand, I heard about quite a few
success stories. Besides that, the idea of components and MVC is also a
plus in my book, API is quite clear and the documentation is really
useful. It is hard to explain, but I fell in love at the first sight :).

There's only one thing bothering me, and that is it's lack of publicity.
There are only few posts on thig NG with some refference to Myghty, and
even less when it comes to Pylons (http://pylonshq.com/), framework built
on top of Myghy. Myghy project isn't that new to explain why people don't
know about it, so is something fundamentaly wrong with it?

Anyway, to make a long story short, those who haven't heard about it, be
sure to check it out, you just might like it, but I would really like to
hear from people (if there are such) using it in real world
applications...

The whims of mindshare are indeed mysterious.
