This has been asked several times, and I think you'll get many opinions.
There are historical reasons, but by now, they are no longer relevant.
In effect, there is no real reason why she isn't more popular - I
personally cannot understand this. Most of the arguments you hear
against Ada are in fact made up - people just don't want to use her,
they're happy with whatever they're using.
Mind you, I do not argue that there are strong reasons why some project
does not use Ada - we're talking popularity here.
