I've NEVER seen it in the discussions on the "Best VR Headsets" list in the JoinUsInVR Steam Group. And I'm guessing it's for good reasons.
That said there are a few reasons they aren't popular -
- They had a horrendous launch, and early units had some issues.
- Inside-out tracking is 1st gen; not as good as Rift S, but most people think it's fine.
- Reliance on Windows Mixed Reality as a platform. Updates happen through Windows. If they break something in an update (and they do) you are at the mercy of Microsoft waiting for a fix, or figuring out how to roll back. Though there are a couple people from the WMR team active on Reddit and they are pretty good about sharing updates/information.
For me the visual clarity is the most important factor but it comes down to preference/priorities. Serious gamers probably want the rock solid sensor-tracking on the Vive/Index. You'll get people with opinions on OLED vs LCD. They all have trade-offs, the Reverb might require a little more TLC. It also needs a super beefy GPU.
At this price or below you could consider the Rift S (personally I am anti-Oculus/Facebook) - or the Samsung Odyssey at the current $229 price would be a great option to try VR with less of a $ commitment.
Spend some time in the WMR forum on Reddit and you should find some good info there.

Reach out to me in a PM, or in the Steam Group if you'd like to give your input on that. Thanks!
