Without a doubt gerbv is the best gerber viewer, although it lacks updates on recent features like gerber X2 and support for milling files, and is too rarely updated.
Unfortunately the last commit is almost 2 years ago, see:
http://git.geda-project.org/gerbv/
Probably the few developers have little time to follow the project and it is a real sin. Sending patches via sourceforce is now inadequate, these days github facilitates the integration of "non-developer" user contributions through pull requests and code review

I have looked at the version on sourceforge and it is very old.  The last commit was nearly a year ago though bugs continue to be filed.  I have sent a few patches and none have been accepted.

I have my own copy on github that addresses some of the issues.

Is this project abandoned?

    Gerbv developers moved to git (but not github) and seems still on
