Is the moq project dead? Is it wise for me to invest in learning it? [closed]

Question

I am fairly new to mocking frameworks and was trying to decide which one will be a good bet to start working on. I have been looking at this question about the best mocking framework, and I can see a lot of people preferring moq, but when i saw the moq project's change list, i can see that it has not been updated for almost an year now.
Is moq project dead? if yes, which will be a good mocking framework to start with today?

Answer 1

Moq is not dead, it's heavily used and it has a steady download count both via nuget and google code. It's just that it works so great that there hasn't been any show-stopper issues that require urgent fixes :P.

vNext is coming along (a lot of spiking, throwing away ideas, etc.) slowly, and its new home will be in http://moq.codeplex.com eventually.

NuGet has somewhat changed the dynamic here, 'cause it's now much less friction to release new bits more often. We'll catch-up with more frequent releases soon. I'm just terribly busy with other stuff (opensource too some of it, heard of netfx.codeplex.com?).

Yes, Microsoft uses it a lot, as well as many others.

1. Statistics of usage
