Is it just the momentum and word of mouth, or are there improved features as well?

They have the main thing masses often look for: unity (as in the state of being united, not the company). Like it or not, federation is a brand new concept that regular users can't wrap their heads around.

Federation a brand new concept.

LOL!

You're dismissing the fact that web browsing and e-mail are federated. DNS too. Usenet. Gopher. IRC to a certain point.

Not a brand new concept.

Email has been around for what, 50 years? I guess that makes me a brand new concept too.

I can guarantee you regular users don't ever think of email as a federated service nor even begin to understand how it works behind the opaque client page.
