Because everyone has made their own, and no one can agree on what a 
dominant web framework might be.  Zope *was* that framework, with 
dominant mindshare, but it didn't keep other people from making other 
frameworks.

There's already a ton of frameworks, but I think I saw two brand new 
ones on PyPI this last week.  Crazy.

Yes, I think that would be great.  But I'm not sure how we get to there 
from here.  This isn't a problem because of a lack of interest, nor for 
a lack of code.
