In discussion with open-source developers over the years about why some of their great work never really reaches its "full market potential" several relevant factors come up ...
1 - Mostly they love developing software, and are fearful of getting over-burdened with support issues ... 2 - IMO (purely subjective) they can be so far into a world of development platforms and its language & processes they sometimes have difficulty grasping what kind of mind-set a "normal" end-user just looking for a COMPLETE solution lives in. 3 - This is NOT a criticism but it is a comment about understanding the gap between a "maker" & a "user". Usually successful "marketing" of a product has a third person who helps bridge between maker and user. These points may not apply so strongly to TiddlyWiki, though I think (1) does apply, in that its primary "development group" (= this GG you reading in now + GitHub) is interestingly diverse in skill and interest.
