   I think you should know that "what is popular" is not determined by   
   what can do most, what is technically superior and other such reasons   
   that you run in to when you do a comparison of VPN technologies as   
   a technician.   
      
   What is popular is determined by what sells best, or what is part of   
   something that already sells best.  When it can do the job, it is used.
