For one thing, Swarm hasn't had any real development work done for over 
five years.  As there is little reason for users to expect new features 
users reasonably tend to look elsewhere.   I'm frankly surprised there 
is any discussion at all anymore about Swarm. 

But I believe Swarm, either as a project or a codebase, does have some 
possible niches.   Being a C toolkit, one is in supercomputing 
communities.  Another direction, more for the SDG, is to simply 
demonstrate techniques for ABM using other up and coming tools.  For 
example, IBM has a new auto-parallelizing Java-like language in 
development called X10 that is in many ways like the Swarm feature set.
