Except that when you wrote this, there were two fresh blog entries sitting
there:

https://asciidoctor.org/news/2018/12/31/making-the-switch-to-semver/
https://asciidoctor.org/news/2019/01/02/asciidoctorj-1-6-0-released/

And there's a brand new documentation site about to go live.

You can also follow releases on the releases page:

There's a converter for LaTeX. (
https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-latex/) You can also generate
LaTeX by converting to DocBook, then using the DocBook toolchain.

The Asciidoctor gem has almost 4 million downloads (not to count
AsciidoctorJ and Asciidoctor.js) and is adopted widely by the industry.
Among those names are MuleSoft, Couchbase, Neo4j, Gradle, Red Hat, Pivotal,
and many authors. So yeah, others find it useful ;)
