1. Is Magritte actively maintained to a point where
it's usable ?
Sure, Magritte is actively maintained in Pharo Smalltalk, and
regularly ported to GemStone, VisualWorks, and GST. I and many other
people have used it in dozens of commercial application.
2. Does anyone have experience with loading
MagritteForVisualWorks from the
cincom public repository (I have turned off atomic loads)?
I don't know the status on VisualWorks. It should work, I know a
couple of projects that use it.
Also check out the work of Gerhard on Scaffolding
<http://seaside.gemstone.com/ss/ScaffoldingGS.html>. This builds on
top of Magritte and runs on GemStone and Pharo. It sounds somehow
similar to what intend to do.
