Hi Rick,

Just speaking for myself, I'd say it's because
FileMaker can only be reached via ODBC or in a
roundabout fashion via its WebCompanion and
http-calls, thus requiring complex setup.
Moreover, before FileMaker 7 its database
underpinnings were no match for the likes of MySQL,
PostgreSQL, Oracle,...
