One of the reasons Enyo apps aren't more popular is because users have come to expect in large part that apps they use (outside of gaming, mostly) will use at least some of the interface standards the powers that be for each platform have defined. Enyo doesn't play that game very well; look at the released Enyo apps on other platforms to see just how largely inflexible its in-built aesthetics are. I'd love to see a well-crafted Enyo app use Android's design language, or for that matter iOS's, as that will contribute much more to its success as an OSS front-end app framework.
Also, jQuery is about as easy as it gets, whether mobile or the standard flavor. Most anyone I know who's ever touched JavaScript can code a basic app within a day, and best of all, jQuery is also largely platform and browser agnostic (except for much older versions of IE).
Not saying Enyo doesn't have its place, but I think it's really struggling to find it outside of webOS where the design aesthetic already fits and exists.
