Why is Zend Framework 3 not popular?

Question

Zend Framework

Actually, the meaning of the question in the topic was voiced, if in detail, I tried to make a draft of the project on it, and I liked everything: modularity, support for the latest PSRs, academic architecture, no magic or facades (you have to write more for this), a powerful set: forms + filters + validators, DI (Service Manager), a large library for working with third-party resources, even serious examples of DDD projects on github. But at the same time, the framework is not popular, what is the reason for this: complexity, fashion, or are there any specific problems with it?

Answer 1

The level of knowledge required for comfortable work with the framework is from mid and above, not every project can pull such a team composition, given that the juniors also need to be trained somehow, which is also time, money, resources. As a result, most of them move out to the chest or (not to be remembered by the night) Bitrix.
