RMAN when it first came out was buggy and unuseable. People remember things like that.

My opinion ... until 9i and the ability to handle control file implications better it was still unsuited to many if not most oracle installations.

If you already had a viable working backup solution, many people have delayed implementing it.

Even now I doubt if RMAN is used at more than 40% of customer sites if that.

Now I am using RMAN. But many people are not and do not use it currently.
