Orbiter is a piece of software that I believe, cant be beat. (at least anytime soon) Kerbals's alright but it in no way compares to the real sense of orbiter and how it portrays our solar system not only visually, but also mathematically.

I also feel that it has to do with advertisement. Nobody advertises Orbiter anywhere. If you look at it KSP increased more in popularity after it was put on steam. Maybe if Orbiter was made more mainstream it would gather more attention.
Do something like that with Orbiter and it's sure to gain a lot more popularity among the masses.
Addendum:
Famous thing =/= Good or well made thing.
Certainly. The thread title was just implying that not being famous is in some way bad.In terms of KSP and Orbiter, a rather inappropriate addendum: Both are good and well-made in their own right.
Perhaps it would be better to draw attention to orbital mechanics by visualising two hyperbolic orbital arcs around an extremely close pair of moons.[image]

Orbiter, however, has the quality of being the simulator with which you can contact the creator of the Universe: The Probe.

You would NEVER even bother using KSP for visualization of a real spaceflight mission.
