You aren't acknowledging the realities of the market Chicken currently addresses.  Chicken is not ready to displace Visual Studio / Eclipse / C# / Java / etc.  Chicken currently reaches DIY open source developers who want something "more advanced" than, say, Python.  Within that market segment, demonstrating that web maps are possible, if not Frappr-level with the $,$$$,$$$ of commercial investment that implies, is decidedly cool.  Your statement is as if someone handed you http://www.freeciv.org and you complained, "But why isn't it a AAA game title??!?"
