Is the King's gambit dead?

It's, of course, not dead at non-master level, but as for master or grand-master level, wikipedia says it is almost not played since humble Bobby said he refuted the King's gambit (the Fisher defense). So has theory refuted it, wikipedia, again, says no, but why then is it not played much

There's also the pulse-quickening 6. g3?! fxg 7. 0-0 hxh2+ Kh1

i used to play that all the time at 10 min time its hard to lose if you know how to play it well.
