I have been hearing of rumors of EOL of Apex for years. While it is not as 
actively
developed as GNAT or Greenhills it is still alive and recently ported to 
Linux.


As for the website...Rational is IBM now... You can't figure out anything 
from their website anymore but it it is only one
click down in www.rational.com (which is a redirect to 
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/rational/)

Click on design and construction, Ada appears.

Even though I love the environment I would agree that I'd have a hard time 
recommeding it over the two you suggested.
