Is there a summary of why this product is not maintained anymore? From time to time I would hear about Phabricator, but I didn't know that the project was in trouble.

#12I always had a good experience with Phabricator, especially its customization/dashboards.
Wikimedia still uses it[1].

This is unexpected. Many companies, among them as well-resourced as Facebook, use Phabricator. I wonder if it will be forked soon by some party interested in keeping it around. OTOH it looks like none such party exists, because the public sources have not been updated literally for years. Maybe everyone interested just runs their private fork :(
Phabricator should be reasonably easy to self-host anyway.

#15Phabricator had seemed to be the only good product in this space when I had looked; what are people even using instead? (I guess they just put up with GitHub :/.)

Ack! Recently moved from Phabricator to Gerrit and deleting Arcanist was a plus.

#16Man, in my opinion, in software, things don't really get started until after surviving for about 10 years or so. Everything else is fleeting.
Quite nice to see it saw 11 years, though.

The UI is atrocious, unfortunately.
Check again - it got a serious makeover recently. It's still far from intutive, but so much better than it used to be.
It's a power user tool that has a slight learning curve.

FB's phabricator went its own way long ago. I imagine this has exactly zero impact on their day to day.
Put it this way: the last time I saw it, they still had the "clowncopterize" button. Try finding that anywhere else.

They've been down to only one developer (Evan himself) for a while. Still sad :(
