It's not surprising it isn't more common. Fantasy and SF are almost opposites of each other.

What are some of your faves?

I Find Samuel R. Delaney's definition of scifi and fantasy helpful in this sense.
Sci-fi: "this has not happened"
Fantasy: "this could not have happened"

Science-fantasy, therefore, would be: "this could not happen".

There's more overlap than you might think, and the two genres are compatible. It just has to be properly finessed.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Good point. But Delaney, for one, didn't let plausibility get in the way of his telepathic bisexual space-pirate poet-spy have a swashbuckling adventure.

[ketita]

Haha, definitely.
But see, I think there's absolutely no reason why plausibility should *get in the way* of your story. With proper building, you can make lots of things plausible!

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Most science fiction routinely violates special relativity and thermodynamics, and isn't that gentle to biology either. Still, they are great stories.

I always go to Diane Duane's Young Wizards series. It seems to lean more on the sci-fi side of things at times, but it's totally fantasy with wizardry and mythology and such.

The Artemis Fowl series.
All of the elves, dwarves, and other fantasy races in these books use and appreciate magic and extremely advanced technology in equal measure. Really great YA or children's section fun.
