Because, Basekt sucks. It's not easy, it's dosn't scale anywhere, it's to heavy and complicated. IMHO it's a protocase for a good idea, which is detroyd by simple usability sin's. Yes, it's useful, but that's plaintext-files also, and they are also independent from the application and platform, and more flexibel for things like scripting.

In my opinion, basKet is easy to use and not at all complicated. If you have specific improvements in mind, why don't you at least file bugs or talk to the development mailling list?

There exists import and export functions (for non-world-dominated platforms) and it certainly could be improved as well.

    While baskets development ist dead, afaik. Also, there was an project to improve the usability already, which will (of course) not be realized.

        Nice, it's reanimated, again, in only seven short months.
        Well, we'll see how useful the kde4-version will be.
