Actually, Resin has a huge following. Just take a look at the archives for
the resin-interest mailing list, or sign up to the list to see for yourself.
One of the reasons you see Tomcat everywhere is because it's the Reference
Implementation (RI) for Servlets and JSP. That doesn't mean it's the best
implementation, only that it represents the standard.
Many people and/or organisations are reluctant to place their bets on
anything other than the "standard" implementation, so they'll reject Resin
for no other reason than because it's not the "standard".
Sad but true...
