Yes, and very much so.

I don't know what you searched. But the archive of this very mailing 
list alone consistently contains a few hundred kB/month when gzipped. 
See http://www.seul.org/pipermail/geda-user/
This is definitely more than "very little".

http://gedasymbols.org

see the changelog of my section on gedasymbols.org:
http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/kai_martin_knaak/changelog.html
(scroll half way down the page)

for atmel see
http://www.gedasymbols.org/scripts/search.cgi?key=atmel

Texas Instruments processors seem less popular.

yes.
It does not support blind and burried vias, though.

I'd say... a lots of places. I use the mentioned gedasymbols.org, and I have
my own library as well.

Have a look at http://www.gedasymbols.org/

For atmega http://www.gedasymbols.org/scripts/search.cgi?key=atmega

I have some symbols and footprints at:

We have default libraries,  you will find that default libraries end up getting 
overridden and augmented more often than they are just used.

What gEDA gives
You here are many ways to Make symbols with symbol generators such as djboxsym. 
 This is posable because of out plain text formatted library. 

Don't let a library make a decision for you.  We use cadence at work and never 
touch the default library.  I now have two friends that chose eagle because of 
it's library and now don't even use its library.

For the microcontrollers. I think geda would be a winner because I would write 
a script that took in the publishing from the data sheet and then made a 
symbol.  Then since datasheeta don't vary much for a particular company and 
series of uC then you have access to use them all

Based on google searches, very little traffic wrt the suite has occurred over
the last 2-3 years.


  gEDA and PCB are probably the most actively-developed pieces of 
software I've ever seen, anywhere, in any category.



Where can I find the most up to date symbol library for gschem? (Do ppl actively
contribute to it? For example, are there libraries for Atmel and TI processors?)


  I can't point you to these, as I typically use my own, but someone 
else here can help you with that.  Yes, people actively contribute symbols.



Can PCB support multilayer boards? (4,6,8?)


  Yes, very much so.

For some reason, google isn't indexing our mail archives.

The tools come with the official libraries, or you can look on
www.gedasymbols.org for user-contributed ones.

> Can PCB support multilayer boards? (4,6,8?)

Yes.
