I think it is more dead than alive, I think. There are bug-fix releases,
including one in late 2009, but, the official gnu website hasn't been updated
in a decade or so. There is no git repo, so it is hard to know if any work
is being done on it.
Even so, it does a great job at your standard 2D graphs.

It claims to be able to do PS, PNG and SVG, and some other obscure formats.
I've only used X, tek, and PNG. I don't think it'll do Pstricks.
What is the state of the are in open-source plot libraries these days?
