Look at the declining amount of plugin updates chart I posted in Carlos' "Last updated plugins" thread.
Parts of the docs are quickly ageing. (check the screenshots in install docs)
GS Extend is a mess, and the "Blog" and "About" pages on the website are no longer/partly relevant and when you subscribe for a newsletter you get none.
The chart about plugin download trends in the "Most downloaded plugins" thread shows that the average plugin dl's has dropped by 2-3k/month in 3 years, and the chart beneath, that only like 5-10 plugins are widely used. Although the 'passive' userbase is declining more slowly, without serious (time/upgrade/change/community) effort, the GS boat will sink.
GS is definitely not dead yet, but it does kind of look like it.
