Is CodeGear''s 3rdRail dead or dormant?

Hello everyone,

I have to decide whether or not to re-up my subscription to Codegear/
3rdRail.  I bought a fully licensed copy back in Sep/2007 and the
subscription is nearly up.  I know it this may sound funny but I
finally got the chance to sit down and start learning it this week
despite the fact I bought it nearly a year ago.  Much to my shock,
when I went to the official support forum on the Embarcodero
Technologies site (they bought the 3rdRail group out) there were a
total of 2 threads posted in the 3rdRail section.  The only other
forum I could find was on CodeVerge and that one doesn''t have any
messages after March 2008.  I''m used to seeing literally hundreds of
threads and messages on an active developer''s board.

So am I wasting my time with 3rdRail?  I am a long time fan of
Borland''s IDE products which is where 3rdRail began (Borland), and I
paid for a full version, but if it''s a dead horse that could actually
get in the way of finding contract work once I''m up to speed, I need
to know now.

If it is dead, please post the most popular IDE tools that people are
using and that are being requested for in Rails/Help Wanted requests
or a link to a web page or article that delineates them.  If 3rdRail
is not, please post the URL of a forum or group where I can find a
healthy level of discourse activity

Thanks,
Robert
