IMHO Vagrant is "stable". Possibly boring. (A good thing for tools, generally.) But it works well.
Why would you ask if it's dead?

Mainly because developers around me use Docker instead, and infrastructure engineers do not reproduce cloud infrastructure locally anymore (they have dev environments on the cloud as well). In my experience, at least, Vagrant was heavily used like 4 years ago, but nowadays not so much.
Maybe the better question is whether using straight EC2’s without any other layer on top for deployment is going the way of the dodo. It’s still happening is probably the answer , are the people doing that replicating their development in production though ?
