Is Adventure Game Studio (AGS) outdated?

I am working on a Point and Click Adventure game being coded on the AGS engine, and just recently, the question of 'is this outdated?' has come up.
I'll admit, AGS is a rather old, and kind of went out of style with the P&C genre itself, but I have not found anything quite like it that specializes in this specific format of games.

So my big question is not only 'is this outdated?' but also 'Is there a better alternative?'
