I am a recent contributor to gnuplot, so don't take my words for 
granted, but :

The recent months have seen quite a bit of concentration on the bugs and 
patches listed on SourceForge, with good progresses.

In particular, a new interactive terminal based on Cairo and wxWidgets 
has been commited on the CVS and is stabilizing (screenshot here : 
http://tipote.free.fr/wxt19.png) , many other patches have been worked 
on and integrated, and a thread about the remaining work before a new 
release has been sent to the mailing list. Of course, there is no date, 
but it is definitely approaching.

I will forward your message to the gnuplot mailing list to make your 
valuable standpoint known there.

Best regards,
