I think it depends on why people got interested in IRV in the first
place.  For people (like me) who are interested in eliminating the
spoiler effect, Condorcet (mostly) accomplishes what we originally
thought IRV could.

There are people who legitimately prefer the features of IRV, however.
 The folks at fairvote.org seem to fall into this category, and I
really don't think it's a matter of ignorance, just different
preferences.
