Aside from the fact that it looks like a slice of bacon, it's mainly because it's a Longsword-type weapon. You will rarely see anyone using a Longsword, because as of now, Dual and Heavy melee weapons out-class them.

Before I get chewed out, I'm not just bashing longswords because I don't like them; in fact, I use the Ether Sword quite a bit. The developers themselves have noted the imbalance in a recent livestream and claim to be working on a way around it.
