The Lazarus project itself is still alive, but the web site is outdated.

One of the major problems with Lazarus on Windows is that Lazarus uses GTK+
as the default widget set.  GTK+ for Windows was created in order to port
some significant X programs to Windows, but I don't think it's very suitable
for creating distributed GUI Windows programs.
