And ontopic: it's all about location, Stormwind and Ironforge (which are awesome cities) are nearer to things that matter. Whereas Darnassus and Exodar are so out of it.
Same with Horde, TB, silvermoon and sometimes UC are dead. Everyone is in ORG. Personally I think Silvermoon is an amazing city but it has no atmosphere, my favourite city though is UC. I hate Orgrimmar as it's so plain, horrible music and all the same colour.

Let's not go off to tangents.
And I love Silvermoon precisely because it's empty. In fact I think only TB has better bank-AH route, but I just can't navigate there...
As to why they are so empty? I guess because Orgimmar and Undercity (Stormwind & Ironforge) are kind of established as the "main main cities". People gather there by convention - if everybody was going to a random city of their choice, working on professions and crafting things for other people would have been mildly harder (unless you want to COE them, which people are oddly reluctant to).

I wish the Horde had Ironforge.

My bank alt is stationed in TB for the same reason someone mentioned earlier: bank, AH and mailbox are very close to each other. It never seems to be empty, though! I see a lot of other bank alts running around!
Silvermoon is definitely a ghost city but it adds to the creepy atmosphere!

TB is full of people on Crushridge, simplest bank/mailbox-AH route in the game (don't get dismounted ftw)

This. I usually use either Silvermoon or Thunder Bluff for my banking/AH needs, depending on my mood. But, as other people have pointed out, I never see them completely empty. I'm usually one of a handful of 80's milling about with a bunch of low levels doing their thing. Maybe you're just looking in the wrong places?
I use Exodar and Darnassus for the same reasons on my Alliance alts (and see about as many people). The only problem with them is that they're a bit out of the way. Well that, and the fact that the distance between the bank and AH in Darnassus is obnoxious.

What do you guys think Blizzard could do to revive these great (animation and lorewise) yet abandoned cities?
Portals between all the cities.
I use the Kirin Tor ring to hearth to Dalaran. My hearth stone is set to wherever I quest. I portal from Dalaran to Shattrath or Orgrimmar. This combo allows me to reach what I need (and I happen to love the feel of Orgrimmar). If it was possible to go from Orgrimmar to TB, SC and UC instantaneously, I would. But right now using the zeps just takes too long.

You have to look at it by location as others have said. I have been playing since vanilla and I allways park my alts in IF out of habit. IF orginally had the AH before they added them to other cities,(Same with Org) and it was the closest to Blackrock mountian and naxx along with most lvl 60 instances.
My guess for Org is that with the zep going from Org to STV and Org to UC it was the easiest way to travel also, but I did not play horde back then.

I agree with one post earlier. Make portals to all the towns and boom we have a very nice way to get around. That and maybe make it so each city is only availible past certain lvls. Silvermoon 1-20, UC 21-40, TB 41-60, and Org 61-85
