Your distinction between traction and longevity is well put. Still, realize that 4D is an outlier in that it never gained traction, yet somehow outlasted almost every other technology that started at the same time. That is not typical.
I'm not saying Cappuccino is a bad choice. I'm just laying out a criteria for considering it. The fact that mobile developers will find it familiar is a very strong point in favor of it. I just would tend to be biased towards investing in javascript based solutions. Even if the framework goes away, you still be a better javascript programmer.
