Well the last commit in http://hg-pub.ecoscentric.com/ecos/ is 5 months
old one-liner, followed by a 12 and 15 month old ones, so this is not only
on mailing lists. I'd say that while it is still a good OS with clean
and easy to use architecture, the open source version basically died
and there are parts hopelessly outdated (TCP/IP from ~2000 if
I remember correctly etc).
I cannot comment on eCosPro, but then you are in a price segment
where there are more alternatives to explore.

It depends on what your short and long-term plans are. Definitely
also take a look at FreeRTOS.
