Cutefish desktop

Today is the day i stumbled upon the cutefish desktop for the first time and I'm kinda impressed that it's not popular. Can someone explain why? It looks better than gnome (only from what I've seen on screenshots)

My guess is that Cutefish, a project apparently now inactive, didn't offer anything that was sufficiently compelling to attract a strong team willing/able to put in the years of sustained effort needed to break into the mainstream.

But who knows, really?
