What are the advantages of PostScript vs Asymptote?
Does Asymptote get much use these days? I thought it was pretty cool, though a bit hard to wrap my mind around, when I first tried it, but nowadays it seems that attention has moved on to TikZ.
Not sure. I use it and it is reguarly updated.

Kids who get most of the way through AoPS (typically) end up learning some Asymptote as that is the supported way to draw figures on the AoPS website

I found Asymptote interesting, but I'm trying to wrap my mind around METAPOST (and by extension METAFONT) as an easier thing to implement/use.
