Will, you forgot DanJetX which is an excellent 2d and 3d directx library and DanJetX is alive and well. It is current, and being updated on a regular basis by Dan and there are a growing group of people using it.

Personally speaking I am using DanJetX in a major commercial application and in a separate smaller scale commercial application. Then there is Eric and Dirk, who both visit PGD regularly, making some wicked stuff using DanJetx.

On the DanJetX forum you will find lots of other projects and work.
