It's still around "in spirit", even if Apple _slowly_ killed HyperCard:

http://www.runrev.com/, commercial products from Runtime Revolution Ltd
Even reads HyperCard: http://support.runrev.com/resources/hypercard.php


Just haven't had any reason to use it, as people tend to prefer to have
their development done using the inferior products available elsewhere ?

Same reason why I am not doing development with WebObjects or OPENSTEP.
And a big reason why I prefer Open Source, as it is less likely to die.
