Why not JOnAS?

I am wondering why JOnAS is not as popular and as hip as JBoss?

JOnAS is also an open source (LGPL) project. It is J2EE certified for a while. Lot of developer/user documentation is freely available (Unusual for a open source project). According to study conducted by rice university JOnAS scales better than JBoss. Redhat officially supports JOnAS as part of redhat application server.

Is it because JOnAS doesn't have evangelists, entusiasts JBoss has? Is marketing/hype important for a free and open source project also?

JBOSS uses attractive remoting architecture, which helps in dynamic loading and unloading of ears. We donot need to bring the system down. For development JBOSS is better. Anyway, who needs either JBOSS or JOnASS for performance critical applications. I would go for Weblogic for deployment.
