Elive, the distribution dedicated to E16 and E17, has reached the magical 1.0 barrier. "This version is ready for the end-users and not just hard core testers. It is a more intuitive easy to use and more efficient system. It has better integration of the file-manager and the mime-types, a nice kernel especially for multimedia and big processes loads, a light weight foot print, much better compatibility with your (possible) Windows system/software, more hardware supported, better graphical recognition, and many more things that you can find in the complete changelog."

Actually, it was only a little over a year and two months (according to the releases on SF.net), not quite three years. Even in the meantime, there *was* work to move from 16.7 to 16.8, so I wouldn't say that "development stopped".
I won't bother arguing with the rest, since I suppose it's a matter of personal preference whether you prefer buggy software (and baked-in hacks to ship before a release is truly ready) or a long development cycle. The long development cycle has certainly worked for Code::Blocks - some people I've encountered swear by it, despite the fact that only nightly builds have been available since the plans to make RC3 were scrapped.
