it's still under development, but it most certainly isn't dead. it's stable in that development is not disruptive. i use it as a daily driver.

you are right about lack of support for job control, it's annoying. but my understanding is that the problem seems to be a difficulty in implementing job control with go. when people say nobody needs parallel tasks that doesn't make sense because you can run jobs in the background. you just have to do it explicitly before starting, and you can't switch back and forth. yes, that's a problem, and for me it is one of the most annoying missing features. but it comes up seldom enough that it doesn't disrupt daily use for me. which is to show that the things i need for daily use are all there.
