Thanks for the reminder about tintin++, but as far as the others - no, they haven't been out of development that long. It would be hard for software that runs on Mac OS X to be over a decade old, since that OS was not publicly released until 2001. Stuff from before then that has not been updated won't run on a Mac. That's the problem with Rapscallion, which says existed only in a "half-Carbonized" (i.e., rewritten for OS X) version when development was abandoned back in 2003.

Sourceforge gives the latest version of Trebuchet for MacOS as Dec 03 2005, and the latest version of TinyFugue is from Jan 14 07 for 5.0 beta 8 (I can't find the date for the 4.x stable version). It looks like tintin++ certainly has them beat as far as current updates, but I have used both and found that they work at least as recently as MacOS 10.4. Of course, even Savitar works, kind of; it just makes me sick to use an application with a GUI design that would have looked like ass on Windows 3.1.
