'Comet' is sill largely misunderstood really. The idea that your webserver might have tens of thousands of HTTP connections all intentionally held open for a few minutes or until data is ready, to some people seems completely foreign. Doing all that in a single thread is also often a strange concept for them to grasp. But, it's increasingly going to be the norm as the <buzz-word-alert> "Real Time Web!!!" emerges. It's cool to have another open source option for people who want to do real time stuff.
