I can’t remember the last time I found a project hosted on SourceForge. Actually, I can, it was http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/ about 4 years ago. I assumed everyone had moved en masse to Github?

Not everyone likes Git, and SF offers other niceties like forums and mailing lists.

Yes, and those that want those things tend to end up on google code nowadays - not at SF.

link spam...? What is exactly the purpose of the links here? Are you using these open source projects yourself?

Filezilla is my favorite FTP program.

These are all popular open source projects that are still hosted on Source Forge posted in response to the parent.

That said, the list of category leading software on SF that people still care about is dwindling.

VLC is by far the most popular project on Sourceforge. Almost pushing it to be become all time #1
