Probably because of the extreme Bondange And Disciplineness of Eiffel, 
the incredible cost of each user license, lack of generic programing ( 
you know, the thing easy to do in Python/Ruby but requires templates in 
C++ ) and the complete lack of a correct debugger.

By now, it seems that some of those problems have been fixed in various 
ways but we now have even better : incompatible implementations of the 
language!

Eiffel is for all purposes a niche language only used by some fanatics 
here and there :)
