It sucks because the Rethink site is well designed, they have a good brand design and mascot, the docs are great, and the team is (was?) open and responsive. They talked at conferences, did podcasts, etc. A little bit of sales work and marketing would've gone a long way.
Of course, it's hard to be profitable at NoSQL after Mongo either got all the hype years before or turned people off the concept entirely.

Developers like hackable systems with bugs and problems they can solve, this is how they get "experts", bigger communities grow, more posts exists, the project get more attention. E.g. WordPress, it is not one of the most used CMS out there because it is the best. But, not always the best system is the winner.
