Does it fulfill a new and unique roll or is it mostly a similar implementation as existing frameworks?
For example- GWT and Cappuccino bring something new and interesting to the space- Program in either Java, or an Obj-C like language.. There are a lot of decent ways to write web code using Java- Spring is very popular for plumbing..
So the question comes down to.. What do you offer that no one else does?
The second question is, How much effort do you want to put into supporting this? It sounds like you've developed an application, and then pulled the framework out from it.. (Not a bad policy at all. Look at 37Signals and Rails)
If it's not your core product, and you'd be giving it away, how much time and effort do you want to invest in writing documentation, test cases, examples, etc?
How much time do you want to spend ensuring that a stable version remains consistent for years, rather than being able to upgrade the framework when necessary?
It could certainly gain publicity and popularity if it 'took off', but that goes back to the first two questions.
I think your poll questions are the wrong ones, to be honest.. How can anyone answer if they'd use it, before they know the unique selling points, and what it brings to a table.
