There's very little activity in the core software (their one full node implementation) and there only appears to be 1 anonymous developer doing most of the work.
It doesn't appear to have a significant community following. Their primary subreddit ( r/BitcoinGoldHQ ) is dead and there isn't much happening on the official forum either.
Since it's inception it has been plagued with strange events and technical issues. The Github for the full node software got compromised. The official BTG website linked to a scam wallet at launch that stole funds from people. It suffered a 51% attack early on. There have been many other issues too.
The slogan is "make Bitcoin decentralized again", but it doesn't do that. It's not Bitcoin.
The main selling point of BTG appears to be "mining decentralization", but there are literally 100s of other coins that have this focus, but unlike BTG, many of these other coins actually have large development teams and bring something unique or valuable to the market.
Edit: added link to primary subreddit
