Hardly dead IMO. E.g. Oakley still going along fine making good stuff.
I am of the same ilk, chose MOTM for semi-DIY back in 2002. #2 choice was Blacet but a) I preferred the bigger format based on what I lusted over when I was younger, and b) the MOTM list had much more interesting discussions.
Unfortunately many of the modules I lusted after never saw the light of day, the DoMOAS sequencer, the dual pan/fade VCA (this -><- close), any of the other CS-80 old crow modules, and the Rhythm Wheel sounded cool. It would be wonderful if MOTM 4.0 went back to 1.0, but that's a pipe dream.
