Axis2 is still a bit immature. The standard recommendation from the dev team is to use the latest nightlies. Therefore I would not classify Axis2 as truly stable yet. But it is the strategic SOAP engine going forward. It was designed to work with all the latest and greatest WS-* specifications. A year from now, I suspect you'll find very few people still using Axis1.
Although Axis1 is fairly stable, it has its share of unresolved bugs and interop problems -- particularly around arrays and nulls. As Rajith says, no one is doing active development on Axis1 anymore. You must decide which is right for you. The dev team is currently planning to release Axis2 1.1, and I'm hoping that this release will be more stable than Axis2 1.0.

Not at all. Axis 1.x does not have active development and it's mostly in supported mode (bug fixes and periodic release cycles ..ect) Axis2 has a lot of active development going on and there are lots of people using/trying it out. Thats why u see a lot of traffic for Axis2.
