This feels like a classic case of great product but poor marketing. The learning curve is a critical piece to adoption rates. When developers shun the framework, it's probably because it does not provide sufficient visible benefit for them to warrant going through the troubles of learning the framework. Once everyone gets onboard with jQuery, it's going to be hard to get people to switch over no matter how great Cappuccino simply because those people do not see the benefits outweighing the costs of switching. It's also a chicken and egg problem. I'm going to go on a hunch and say there are way more developers who know jQuery than ones who know Cappuccino. Naturally, people would prefer using jQuery because it's easier to get someone else on board for projects. I really loved the look and feel of Cappuccino and kudos to you for a tremendous effort! Unfortunately, I did not choose to use the framework precisely because I had to learn something called Objective J and for that, I'm sorry that I am part of the group of people who felt that the learning curve was abit steep.
