I have been using TeXnicCenter with MikTeX for over 10 years and I love them. However, even if several terrific TeX editors are being migrated from Linux to Windows, TeXnicCenter hasn't received updates for more than one year. Actually, the last update dates back to September 29th, 2013 where the stable 2.02 version was released.
Is the TeXnicCenter project truly dead or just running slow?
