It was very unfortunate timing that 1.6.0 came when bitcoin started to rally, the timing couldn't of been worse with this release and a lot of people have not bothered to look and thinking only about the bitcoin price.
From my PoV I can't look at another wallet after using the new desktop wallets, the other QT wallets look so bland and the link between Android and Desktop is an amazing new feature. Extremely unlucky with timing is the only thing I can attribute the total media blackout on
this update.
PRIME 1 looks like it will have a much better release timing as bitcoin rally should be over and people will start looking at alternatives and finally take a serious look at what was done in this release.
That is a fair way of looking at things.
Of course, the market does not need Prime to retrace.
I think the timing is perfect, Prime is meant to be the main project on the roadmap and as good as 1.6.0 is with all it's new innovative features I sense the confidence within the team when Prime is mentioned on slack and
