UTAU ended its development in 2013. Luckily for it there are still fans making voices and resamplers and what not, this has greatly extended its life. We just don't know whats going to happen to it when the time comes. There are always people who don't move onto the new ways, so there is a buffer time between the old and new. So its death will never be over night.

Vocaloid is going strong, we had a spout of people creating "Vocaloid is dying" comments earlier this year on the forum Vocaloid Otaku forums. But people are still buying Vocaloid. V1 is no longer sold. When Windows 10 came along, V1 took a hit and stopped working, yet it was still used. You get about 15 mins before it bugs out completely and to this day people still use it despite it not being on sale.

V5 is expected this year or the next. ;->
