Is the SmartThings dev community all but dead?

I sympathize with you. I got tired of virtual switches and applets on IFTTT that were unreliable, not to mention 5-6 different apps on my smartphone for controlling those devices.

To that end I flashed my devices with Tasmota and just finished writing a comprehensive device handler for RGBW bulbs for Smartthings classic. This is what it looks like:

If you can get your RGBW bulb flashed with Tasmota you can have a pretty decent integration with SmartThings. You can find more info here.

[OBSOLETE] Tasmota Comprehensive RGBCCT Device Handler w/MQTT for SmartThings Classic - V1.1

I’m a fan of Tasmota but found the existing device handlers for color Tasmotized bulbs to be very simplistic given the reach feature set of Tasmota. This screen shot shows most of the capabilities of the device handler. What is not obvious is that you can toggle between “Device” and “MQTT” for controlling multiple devices simultaneously.

I plan on doing a couple of others in the future, a basic switch and a switch with power monitoring.
