Yes, one or the other. My own searches doesn't say anything definitive.
According to the Internet Wayback Machine, the last update to their
website was October 28, 2009, at least as far as they could retrieve [1]..
The Internet Wayback Machine's cached version also revealed their Twitter
and Facebook pages [2] [3], both of which haven't been updated much since
their last official release on November 9 this year.
I did, however, manage to find their project page on SourceForge when
looking for "EasyPHP" using Google.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/quickeasyphp/
You might find the latest version (5.3.3.1) there.

It depends. If you feel comfortable using EasyPHP as a development tool,
and it appears to perform its job accurately, then go for it.
