Is Fritzing Dead Already?

Same here - only change Oct 2015 to Mar 2016
Fritzing was a tool of the first choice (because Adafruit and Sparkfun use it for documentation )
Later, when I moved from BB to PCB and actually producing panelized PCBs, I tried Eagle and several other tools. But never found enough time/energy/will to understand them. FZ is easy and straightforward.
Yes, there are bugs, but with the June update most of crashing was solved.
And yes, creating a part is "a bit complicated" process, but you can get used to it, once you understand it and get familiar with SVGs
