Personally I would be more interested in why groups/organizations don't use Sugar than what existing deployments are looking for to continue using it.
In order for Sugar to become more than a niche product it is going to have to accommodate a wider population. The XO/Sugar/Schoolserver combination was originally promoted as a complete solution which could be used independently without anything else. But in practice, there is a need to integrate with other solutions. Sugar may be a great educational environment but there is a need to tie it into existing schools and curriculums. OLPC had educators on staff looking into this problem, but I don't think we have that luxury. As an example, the same kludge hacks kept being made over and over to integrate Sugar & XOs into environments where the schoolserver might not control the network, proxy authentication/802.1x networks were used, etc. For some reason this functionality never made it upstream.
