Well it *is* pretty darn powerful (I'm the author; allow me some preening!) but I believe the real reason is that it is the most *transparent* solution. The other contendors *all* involve web-based setup/management, and often include things like wikis, issue tracking, graphical views on the web, commenting on commits, code review (in case of gerrit), etc. etc. Gitolite is the only system where the end user (developer) may not even realise it's installed unless he runs up against an access restriction.
