Au contraire - SuperCard is alive and well.

Here's an overview of new features in v4.7:
<http://supercard.us/supercard/new.html>

Integration with QuickLook, Coverflow, Spotlight, and other OS services like OS X's multi-lingual spelling checker are just a few of the 60 new enhancements in this latest version, which also includes support for these styled-text file formats: Word, WordML, HTML, webarchive, RTF, RTFD, and PDF.

As an exclusively-Mac tool, SC does an arguably better job of providing pixel-perfect object rendering per the Mac HIG.

While my clients' and customers' need for multi-platform deployment has prevented me from using it for most of my work in recent years, SuperCard remains an excellent tool for OS X and if I could afford to deliver exclusively to that one platform I'd probably still be using it today. But alas, I need to support the other 90% of the world too.
