Surprising! as of now, in my experiences of software engineer, I met more people that read/know about TAOCP than people who read Code Complete.
It may be a probability accident (I kind of remember that probabilities and small numbers are not good friends). It may also be influenced by my fields of experiences. But assuming this is real (i.e. programmers know more about TOACP), it’s doesn’t seems right.
I consider TAOCP as a reference to write efficient code; Code Complete is a reference to write good software (eventually being a product maintained by a team). Both are important, but the first one being used way less often!

People don’t read TAOCP because they think:
“they couldn’t understand the content.”
People don’t read CC because they think:
“they already understand the content.”
