<my 2 cents>
Students are taught by professional teachers. Teachers tend to teach with
what they use in their professions. Researchers like interactive 3D
display, and can be enticed to use jmol, but ... one of the biggest
complaints I get against Protein Explorer (Chime) is "no publication
quality images". If Jmol can export to Pov-Ray well, professionals/teachers
will use it. Then they will teach their students with it!
And yes, students read journals too.
The recent increase in use of PyMol to generate publication quality figures
is very impressive. This tends to interest students and professionals in
using PyMol. Jmol should go the same route.
