It has good icons and it tries to make the factions different but equal.
I think the biggest reason (beside the initial 'PR' campaign) is the extra tech and number of factions.
Sup got toys like hvy boost and XRM
Tac got emp mines and SC towers
SY got corvettes
Quickfires
None of the real main game alternatives have TF or Pheonix. For most of its lifespan, DN has been seen as the core most likely to introduce "new stuff" while maintaining core gameplay.
Most of the alternative cores focus on balancing a subset of pre-existing elements. I think you don't see more people switching over because they feel doing so limits thier options.

Umm... The Phoenix has super tech... that doesn't count as being equal to the others, does it?_____________
PHOTON EONIX
I have gotten the passion to comm the Bios.
Phoenix requires a disgusting amount of money to be used properly. If a team kills all of their miners, phoenix can not win. If a phoenix team attempts cheese tech in a real game, it will get stomped and swept out of the way.
Those are facts of life.
