Definitely obsolete. It never caught on much to begin with really; and that was back in the late 80's early 90's iirc. Neat idea, having the same rim size as 9mm to make for easier caliber swaps, but iirc there were some extraction issues to one degree or another. Not sure; never owned one and it was a long time ago.
In the FWIW category, it always seemed to me as somewhat of a tweener or 'gap' cartridge, much like the .40 does now. (Don't jump on me; just personal observation) They just always struck me as the "16-gauge" of the handgun world. Nothing really wrong with it and it's perfectly capable, but I'm personally going up to a .45 or down to a 9mm.
