I think Denite doesn't get as much attention because it doesn't have sane defaults and instead requires you to configure everything yourself using a somewhat... peculiar configuration system. It's also known for sometimes breaking your workflow because why not.

I know I ignored it for a long time before I finally decided rolling up my sleeves in order to make it usable. I use it these days and am fairly satisfied, but there are still sharp corners which introduce friction continually because I dread having to investigate how to configure it.

It felt like an insane amount of friction, with a generous helping of “If you don’t grok this natively then it isn’t for you”. The fact that no attempt was made to preset a cohesive set of defaults since that should be “trivial” was a real speed-bump and turnoff.
