Subject: What's the current standing of Rant vs. Rake?

Rake seems to be used widely and extensively. Rails uses it pretty
extensively, as do quite a few of the tools I'm currently reviewing
for the purposes of another thread [1].

So what about Rant [2]? It's certainly not dead: latest release was on
November 17, 2006. And it is claimed to be more featureful than Rake
[3].

Where is Rant being used (if at all)?  Why does Rake seem to be the
overwhelming choice?
