I dont think its dead yet but there are certainly some concerns. If you read past Andrew Connells blog and check out the replies you will see may people disagreeing with his essential argument to no longer use InfoPath.
However Nintex forms may be the answer. It would be good to get comments from anyone using it.
InfoPath is a dead product.

Only issue I personally have with Telerik is that they will not let you use their solution in OSS. I would love to use their controls (and in fact have a full suite license to boot), but just can’t take advantage of it.
The InfoPath feature needs a major overhaul. In SP2013 it has changed very little. The object model is a small subset of what is required. Time to junk it and start anew. For many of my clients InfoPath is a key feature but it is weak OOTB. There are some good third party applications for example QRules from Qdabra but reporting is also weak on xml data. The links to SQL server leave a lot to be desired.
Mark I agree Telerik are extremely good, regular quarterly updates and lots of cool stuff.
Well worth the money.
